So the running joke when I was younger was “IKEA: We give you almost everything you need!”. I knew some people that were huge fans. While others thought it was the absolute worst. Say what you will though, IKEA is here to stay. And they are a definite powerhouse when it comes to the DIY Kitchen industry in particular. I’ve now had the pleasure of working on at least 7 separate Ikea projects. Five of my own, plus two designed for others. Projects ranging from kitchens to built in buffets, to bars and extra storage. Join me as I regale you of the joys of said experiences. We’ll talk through some tips and tricks and walk through a standard installation from purchase to completion in How to Install Ikea Cabinets 101. Read More
FootRests Wellington Work Boot by HYTEST Review
As an Architect, I’m not on the job site all day every day, but I do spend a fair amount of my time slogging through the mud and walking through dangerous work zones. Most work boots look like work boots, not something you can wear in the office. So, usually this means driving out, walking back to my trunk and pulling out my beat-up work boots. Then slapping them on while doing a dance on one foot in a muddy gravel lot. Then doing it all in reverse on the way off the site. All while hoping I don’t lose my balance – which is not exactly US Gymnastics team material! Suffice to say, this has led to some soggy socks in the past. Does HYTEST have the answer in their FootRests Wellington Work Boot? Read More
