New: TROLLSTA Collection

By Sylvia on May 2, 2008 ~ No Comments

I really like the TROLLSTA Collection because of its classic shape reinterpretation. Right now the collection is composed by the TROLLSTA Side Table ($79.00), the TROLLSTA Cabinet ($199.00) and the TROLLSTA Sideboard ($349.00).

The side table and the sideboard are both available in black and in yellow, while the cabinet is just available in black.

I have to say… the yellow is impressive, it just looks like gold. Bling, Bling!

I love the locker look of the IKEA PS cabinet collection! We actually have some of the IKEA PS cabinets. The new IKEA PS addition is an incredible wall mounted Laptop Workstation in white or red, and just for $39.99. I just love it!

I don’t have a laptop, but I’m not sure I will resist to The Cabinet Attraction. ;)

Hack: ROGER Chair

A few weeks ago I finally saw the ROGER Chair Transformation.

Jon, from Happy Mundane, really loved the idea of a chair where the bottom few inches of the legs are exposed wood. After looking everywhere, he decided to buy the ROGER Chair and do it himself.

See the whole process here and here.

What’s going on at Ikea? Is there some kind of pink fever? I do like pink, but… chewing gum pink? First some MALM pieces in pink and now a pink EKTORP sofa.
