I LOVE Ikea!

As many of you know, I have had a many year love affair with Ikea.  I remember my first trip to Ikea in Emeryville, California.  I remember wishing I had a bigger suitcase.  I remember understanding why Ikea had a restaurant.  I remember the time before Ikea opened in Atlanta.  

I thought I loved Ikea, but there are people who are even more devoted. 

Ikeahacker is a blog filled with amazing, unexpected inventions created from different Ikea products.  Who knew you could make a dog bowl from a stool or a modern art sculpture from bookshelves.  Some of my other favorites are the laptop stand made from a paper towel holder, installation art made from shelves, and a pinhole camera from wooden planters.  Each hack is submitted by regular people from around the world who are trying to fill a need.  It is inspirational.  

I now walk the aisles at Ikea looking at things with new eyes.  Maybe one day I'll create something worthy of Ikeahacker.
