Hacked Ikea Furniture....funktified free-form furniture for your (tiny) home!

     I just LOVE how many cool and inspiring blog there are out there. I randomly stumble upon new ones every single day, from some very creative and talented people, and today it was Rhinestonesandtelephones.blogspot.com that had a really cool article on consumerism, and the DIY ethic (and its relation to value/worth (which I feel fits right in with the whole tiny housing/small living/sustainability movement in several ways)).


Check out the cool article on the above, and the DIY mindset here.... http://rhinestonesandtelephones.blogspot.com/2011/11/labor-leads-to-love-case-for-homemade.html

     Above is the photo of some hacked Ikea furniture that caught my eye. Below I also have a tiny review on a cool little space efficient stool (great for tiny homes/houses- the reason I bought it)....AND sketch #16 of our "SIXTY SHACK SKETCHES IN SIXTY DAYS" series....(a countdown of new, lesser seen (or never seen) sketches leading up to the release (on Amazon.com now) of "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks"....which has gotten some kick-butt reviews from The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Jay Shafer of The Tiny Tumbleweed House Company, Make Magazine, The Seattle Times, Lloyd Kahn,Lester Walker, Pete Nelson, and so on....
