It looks like creativity knows no bounds when it comes to using the bits and pieces in the boxes of parts that Ikea gives you. Here are a couple of projects that looked particularly interesting.

• ikea hacker: another way to hack a murphy bed

• ikea hacker: stolmen bike rack

I don’t really NEED a murphy bed or bike rack, but aren’t they the coolest projects?

I think I love Ikea because all of their items look like building blocks. They remind me of Lego blocks and how I put them together is my choice. Will I create what I’m “supposed” to create? Will I create something lame and rickety? Will I create something that the Gargonzola monster could withstand? It all depends on me!
