This traditional house is located in Southern Korea and belongs to Hongnam Kim, art historian, a professor at Ewha Womans University. She wanted to create a house in the form of a hanok, the traditional wooden structure dating back to the Joseon dynasty in 1392.

UDDEN goes living room

post from IKEA Hackers on 16 May 2012 08:37:58 AM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: UDDEN Wall units, coated chipboard, metal angles, screws

Description: I was looking for a sideboard/storage unit for the living room. As I have a open kitchen that can be seen from the sofa, I wanted something to match with my UDDEN kitchen units.

Still considering different solutions, I bought two wall units for the kitchen. As I assembled the units in the living room, I realized a nice solution that just needed very little hacking:

I built a rectangular base from coated chipboard and metal angles (approx. 10 cm in height), stacked six wall units on the top and fixated the ensemble with some metal screws here and there...

Et voila! a nice and clean sideboard with lots of storage (and pretty cheap as well).

10 Cool Accent Chairs

post from Furniture Fashion Modern Interior Home Decorating Magazine on 16 May 2012 12:40:23 AM. © Furniture Fashion Modern Interior Home Decorating Magazine

There’s something endlessly comforting about a great reading chair. The sense that others before us have sat in that very space, embarking on literary adventures of their own and perhaps nodding off just like we’re wont to do ourselves lends a sense of continuity to an otherwise simple — modern, even — piece of furniture. Today’s roundup of cool accent chairs gives a nod to the days of yore, with a few mid-century modern inspired
