I recently put together a small credenza from the TRÄBY line. We put it in place under our window, right away we noticed that it just blended into our floor. I purchased some high gloss white paint and painted the perimeter with about 8 coats of paint. I think it looks much better. See the results after the jump.
These have to be some of the nicest pieces I have seen, but I guess that is just my opinion. Plank Living is created and managed by Air division. Take a look at the rest of their collection. Some day (when my kids move out) I could see the TELEFUNKEN sitting in my living room. Pics and links after the jump.
A couple of weeks ago Apartment Therapy featured my Modern Ikea hack credenza. It was fun to see what people thought of it. Most of the comments were positive except one, can’t please everyone now can we.
Gus Design Group, the Toronto-based furniture company has an absolutely gorgeous line of furniture. Gus itself is not new to the game they have been posted all over the place. Their pieces have strong lines mixed with natural and industrial materials. The price points on their work are spot on. Not to compare them to Ikea what so ever but just save up a few more months and go Gus. It is obvious that their furniture could last a lifetime. I love their “VISION” statement.

After shopping around and comparing prices I decided to build my own credenza. I came across this site http://x818.com/oss3/ Pete made this cool credenza with very little cutting, drilling or gluing. After doing the research on europly “the wood Pete used” I realized it would be too expensive. So I started looking for alternatives.
I came up with the idea of using two Ikea Lack shelves and making my own. Just my luck, we found one Lack shelve in the scratch and dent section and purchased another. I ordered a set of hairpin legs from http://www.ianmaclean.com for that little touch of retro. The silver track I picked up from the local HD. I love the way it turned out and all the remotes work through the Plexiglas. Total cost was around $275. Lots of pics after the jump.
