And we have an IKEA hack of 2010 winner!


Big congratulations and a round of applause to thedesignguy for winning the IKEA Hack of 2010!

His hack the Pax sliding door room divider was a clear favourite from the start. At some point, G.V.M's Bedroom dress boys almost overtook it but at the last lap, the Pax sliding door room divider pulled away to win big, with over 28% votes. The dressboys garnered 19% votes, with the Ultimate twin highchair at 16%. For me, every hack in the Top 10 list is way excellent and you did awesome.

This year, I am also super happy that we crossed the 5 thousand votes mark, hitting a grand total of 5,283 votes, up from last year's 4059. Thank you, thank you, everyone who picked your favourite and made your choice known.  

As a small token from me, thedesignguy wins two of Jonathan Adler's latest books, Happy Chic Accessorizing and Happy Chic Colours.

  4. Anon, I am fully aware of vince's sliding door and was one of the first hacks I posted. But if you do take a closer look at how it is constructed you'll see that it is quite different from designerguy's. Vince uses Stolmen posts to hold his door up. So while both may be a pax sliding door, they are different.
