A simple hanging pot rack hack

Materials: L�MPLIG Trivet, GRUNDTAL S-hook

Description: I used a piece of Oak that matched my cabinets then cut it to size and drilled holes for the ends of the L�MPLIG Trivet to stick out.

After smoothing the edges with sandpaper, I used large screws and countersunk them in so they sit flush with the wood. Before putting it all together, I finished the wood with food safe mineral oil.

I used stainless steel hooks and chain I got from Home Depot. Though you can get zinc plated ones for a lot cheaper.

Total cost: ~ $40 Though if you use zinc plated chain and hooks you can do it for a lot cheaper. ~ $30

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Turn a trivet into a stylish wine glass rack

Materials: LAMPLIG Trivet, NUMERAR Countertop

Description: Nice large wine glasses but no space to store them? Ikea's Lamplig trivet comes to the rescue. After cutting the trivet in half you can place them into anything. I had a Numerar countertop leftover, it looks pretty sleek. Stores 22 62cl wine glasses.

Some notes if you wanna make one yourself:

Make sure to cut exact halves so you can use both halves.

The grinder will leave a nasty sharp burr, make sure to file the halves well.

Drilling the holes on precise (strict tolerance) spots can be tough, but very important. I used a drill 1mm larger than the pegs diameter.

No glue needed, due to the tolerances in the trivet and in the holes in the wood, you'll get a perfect press fit.

Cheers!

Lamplig chopping board counter top

Materials: Lamplig chopping board

Description: I took 3 Lamplig chopping boards and set them on top of my old counter top so the lip of the chopping board hangs over the counter. It looks nicer than the old counter top and is a good option for renters.

Please note that I did not glue the boards together or to the existing counter top and the boards can warp a bit depending on the weather.

Pimp my Billy Laiva: From a boring bookshelf to an astonishing bar

Materials: 1-One LAMPLIG Grytgaller 2-One LOTS spegel 3-One DIODER led 4-Couple of nail clips and double sided adhesive pads.

Description: The pictures I took are quite self-explanatory, so I will resume it as much I can. Have you any question I will be happy to answer it!

I sawed the Lamplig right in the middle. Then I ended up drilling 16 holes in order to accommodate the sawn-off Lamplig perfectly in to the upper shelf. To make it steady I used a couple of nail clips.

Since the mirrors LOTS spegel already come with double sided adhesive pads, all I had to do was to place 5 pads on the back of each mirror and set them on my preferred location.

The DIODER led lights do also come with adhesive pads, so I did the same with them!

And this is the final result. It works pretty well as an ambient lightening. Right now the only thing missing is to throw a party! I'm off, peace out!

Quick table

Materials: L�MPLIG chopping board, Vika Curry

Description: I needed a small table to put my printer on.

I couldn't find any table suited at the Ikea store, so I hacked one together from the L�MPLIG chopping board and used 4 Vika Curry legs to support it.

It took me 15 minutes to piece it together and for �20 in materials it wasn't expensive.
