I sincerely
think our local Ikea branch has a stock problem. The staff denies with a smile;
but where are the nice pillow cases, napkins, and gadgets in bright fashionable
colors? The only thing they have a load of are Samla storage boxes, they are
exposed at every corner.
The ‘Limited
Edition’ version of the Billy bookcase –the one with the turquoise inside and
white outside- that I had in mind for the boys bedroom seems to be sold out.
Out of sheer
necessity I bought the normal white version. Back home we made our proper ‘limited
edition’.
The bookcase
was temporary assembled to mark the height of every shelf. Consequently the
fabric was cut to size and glued to the back of the cabinet with some homemade
modpodge (I just mixed white school glue with water). Our homemade Billy
bookcase!
I do not like
the idea of fabric and glue; because if you do not like your project after gluing
it all together you cannot recycle the fabric anymore. Nevertheless in this
case necessity knows the law.
Luckily the
boys, myself and even our dinosaurs are happy with the result …
I love this! It looks brilliant, it has inspired me to try the same thing in my 'craft room'(spare room) this weekend, thank you!
