About Matt

Matt is a Registered Architect in New York and Pennsylvania. He didn’t think he was busy enough managing the Architecture and Structural Engineering Department of a full-service design firm or operating his own residential architecture business on the side, so he figured, why not write for Home Fixated too? Matt’s interest in Architecture and Construction comes from a lifetime growing up around the many projects his father, HF Senior Writer Phil, always had in the works. From work on his childhood home to various projects and renovations of speculative real estate, home renovations, working for a design-build contractor to his current work, he’s spent a lot of time in and around commercial and residential construction of all types. He and his wife recently purchased a new home (only 17 years old this time, not 100 like their last one) but there’s already a laundry list of new projects and deferred maintenance to take care of. In his excessive amounts of downtime, he enjoys sitting on the deck watching the sunset, hanging with his wife and dog, figuring how he can add to his ever growing collection of smart lighting around the house, and yelling at Alexa when said smart lights aren’t working right.

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
