Tiny kitchen table

http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/

Materials: Numerar oak counter, Oddvar stool, Vika kaj

Description: My kitchen is long but too narrow for a kitchen table. When I finished my countertops with Numerar oak, I decided to make use of the cutoff to make a little wall-mounted table in the corner behind the fridge. The top is attached to the wall with an aluminium L-profile and supported with two Vika Kaj telescoping legs. Because I mounted this on the same height as my countertops, I got an Oddvar bar stool and shortened the legs to fit the height of my "table".

Faktum cabinet cubby hole

http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/

Materials: Faktum, Capita

Description: When I decided to construct a hallway cabinet out of Faktum wall cabinets, I wanted to have an open space under the top where I could put keys, gloves, today's mail, etc.

So I got the 90cm high cabinet with 70cm high doors, and I put a shelf level with the top of the doors. However, this leaves a gap between the shelf and the doors, so I glued a wood strip on the unlaminated back edge of the shelf. My original plan was to widen the indents in the bottom of the shelf, but when I tried it in backwards to test the fit, I liked the look of the wood strip in front so I left it like that.

To improve the look of the cabinet, the unused shelf holes were covered with white plastic plugs sold for the purpose at DIY stores.
