this is the first time i've seen the lack shelf hung from the ceiling. a neat idea from perkin, though i'll worry about knocking those candles over.
to create this shelf suspended from the ceiling, i attached four cup hooks to the side of the
lack shelf (2 on each long-side). then i screwed in 4 ceiling hooks. i used toggle bolts so the shelf could take a lot of weight. the ceiling hooks were spaced exactly the same as the cup hooks. i bought some white chains from home depot and connected the hooks. i used white so it would be less noticeable against the white wall, but they also have nice metal ones if you want a more industrial look.
i ended up filling the shelf with candles of varying heights but it can definitely hold heavier things like books. i really enjoy the dramatic look when all the candles are lit. i did this about a year ago and have recently moved, so it's all dismantled."
ikea silver serving trays were spray painted navy blue. etched into afterward and then varnished.
the bemz second chance contest is ending today. these are the last 5, barring any last minute entries.
attach the bar with a screw from the inside of the cabinet after you slip in the grundtal hooks.
"we've been to a variety of websites and the ikea store, but no one has been able to identify which model it is. and because it is an older model that wasn't continued, we're wondering if anyone has a new slipcover (bemz and eBay seemingly did not)."
ikea had a good solution for us. we used five estetisk magazine boxes and mounted them on our bedroom wall. they look really nice and are very suitable for stuffing underwear in."
