Wow! Blog us about that light fixture!

It's a unique fixture that _FANw found in Waco of all places. A bunch of hooks with a variety of bottles. Pretty cool.

speaking of waco, does it bother anyone else that chip always says "bucks"?

like "now they want 275,000 bucks for this ranch style on one acre but i think we could probably get it for closer to 260,000 bucks and that will give us an extra 15,000 bucks for remodel".

gosh darn it's annoying.

So, how hard is it to put their crap together? We purchased a big coffee table for our living room a few weeks back and tonight is the night we put it together.

ikea pro-tip-
pick up a small bottle of wood glue. use a dab of it on each end of the dowels before putting them into the holes. will add stability to your piece.

I think it's endearing. But I love him. He's my 2nd favorite house fixer upper guy behind Josh Temple.

This post is a little deflating. I thought we were all about to get treated to a link to the _FAN Pintrest page.

I don't do Pintrest. Sorry. Between old person social media like FB and twitter plus gE there just isn't time.

do you ever change out the bottles to match the seasons or your moods?

It's true. We both got $50 GC's from our parents for Christmas.

I got a table from CB2 which was very IKEA-like (cost the same too!)

Phil Titola · « **Reply #119 on:** March 25, 2015, 05:17:07 PM »

Their storage furniture is the best for modern condo design...I've had 3-4 ikea pieces for like 8 years now and still solid as a rock. Never tried their couches/chairs to know if they are any good. the lighting is cool but seems to burn out (literally) too quickly.

I put together the main part of the table, but the underneath part is missing a piece, so that will have to wait.

dude don't the instructions say to make sure you have all the parts before you start? and wasn't the first piece of advice here to read all the instructions?

Yikes. It's a small part. I got too excited and didn't realize it till half way through. They're sending the part.

just call it an ikea hack....one piece I just left one set of doors off because a) i couldn't get the door straight and it was pissing me off...and b) i decided it looked better.
