Some of my recent Flickr finds – the classic Ikea Expedit bookcase. I admit to being biased on this one as an Ikea fan and a proud owner of an Expedit bookcase. The Expedit is such an affordable and well designed piece of furniture, easily assembled ( although my partner would argue with me on this ), available in a range of finishes/colours ( my preference goes to the white one ) and can be used to store books, toys, stationery, collections, CDs/DVDs to craft materials and pretty much everything you want to. For more Ikea Expedit on Flickr feel free to peruse its own group.

DYI does not have to be difficult or complicated. I have found a fine example of an easy makeover performed on a couple of Ikea Träby units put together to create a credenza. Tyler Goodro from Plastolux is the man behind the simple and easy makeover, check out the original post here.

Created in 1979 by the hands of Gillis Lundgren, Ikea's Billy bookcase turns 30 next month. Its unpretentious, clean and functional design has made it a sucess for 3 decades with over 40 million sold worldwide.

I first spotted Constança’s home when it made the cover of the Portuguese Ikea Family Live magazine. A few months later whilst perusing the ever inspirational Flickr source, she popped up again in a crafter’s pool.
