How to zest up a children's table and bedroom side tables

Teresa and Caroline (thanks!) tip me on some cool hacks happening over at Apartment Therapy. Check out their dreamy bedside table, fresh and fun Latt table and a Lack window seat.

Children's Latt table transformation
At a glance, the Latt table and seat tops look like fabulous art pieces but in reality, it is an Ikea Annamoa fabric under a piece of perspex. Simple hack but huge wow factor.


See more on AT's ohdeedoh.

Frosta bedside tables Again, so simple but absolutely dreamy. Perfect for the bedroom.

Lack window seat
Great for catching up on your daily Vitamin D. Quite like what we've previously featured here and here. Also check out window seats from the Norrebo, Traby and Leksvik.

Making your own window seat? Get a bench cushion for your Lack.

  3. I love window seats to sit and read my book and drink my evening tea and stitch and knit by the window...love the way you have done it.

  4. How sturdy is the Lack bench? The Ikea website says a max load of 22lbs on their website... I don't know about you but most humans I know over the age of 2 are bigger than that :)

  5. Could you let me know how big the sheets of perspex for the children's table need to be (both for the chairs and the tabletop)? Thank you, ingeborg.

  6. The plexiglass dimensions for the table are 17 3/8" x 23 1/4"
    The dimensions for the chairs are 9 1/2" x 9 1/2"
