fold-down desktop from the ivar unit

bonnie hides a fantastic ivar desk in her wardrobe. the best part is how the legs fold in!

  2. I'm having a hard time finding the pieces in the right size in Ikea's online catalog. I really like this idea, I'd love to make a sewing station in my closet. Help?
