At last – the big reveal on my little IKEA living room redesign.
Of course, I didn’t really think to take a before picture until I was halfway done. 🙂 But if you picture stacks of books on the floor and cds and dvds stacked beside and on top of the tv, you’ll get the gist of it. You will actually get to see the intermediate pictures at some point, because the cats were (no surprise) very, very curious and involved with the whole project.

Oh it looks very nice… and you still have (some) space for more books, CDs and DVDs hehehe. And curious me wants to know what is those boxes hehehe.
PS: it is not an Ikea wonderland but wonderWALL… yeah bad I know 🙂
It’s very nice… and what a shiny panther girl you have (I can’t help it, I have a weakness for the shiny black kittehs…)
What a way cool kitty jungle-gym. It looks great from the human point of view, too;–)
Oh, it looks great! You’re giving me ideas… Damn IKEA with their stupid cool modular furniture. Fine. I’ll go.
Wow.. very cool and organized! We finally got an IKEA here in Atlanta a few years ago but I can’t convince hubby to go there. He really dislikes their furniture and that whole look that IKEA has.. he especially hates those wall cube things which are perfect for yarn stashes.
Looks awesome! Are these cubbyholes for yarn? : )
looks great, and what a space saver (one thing i love about ikea goods!)
Verrah nice! The kittehs approve, I hope? I certainly do.
Wow!! I have seen “the before” in person and I LOVE the new look! Now I can’t wait to see it in person. I’m sure the kitties love it too….the new urban jungle!
Chris- Verrrry niiice. (in Borat’s voice)
Very nice!
I like it. And have I spotted a black kitty theme?
Very nice. I <3 everything about Ikea. Looks like now you can get a bigger TV. 😉
Very nice, Chris! It looks very clean and spacious.
Wow, that’s some serious organization you have going on there. I think you need to come to my house and finish organizing my craft room!
Love it!! I hope the boxes on top hold your yarn stash.
It looks terrific!
Did you end up having all the parts (e.g., bolts, screws, other assembly thingies) you needed?
Have da kitties figured out how to get all the way up to the top?
Yay for organization!
I’m going to head down to IKEA soon to look for something for our office. I need bookshelves with doors. Not glass doors – something to hide all the junk.
Looks great! That was a lot of assembly! I’m glad the kitties survived, and that Chaos did not get crushed. It looks like it might be a little hard for them to get to the top of the center unit to create a new fortress of solitude. You really should have created a more step like progression of units. It’s as if you planned it so they couldn’t get up there. 😉
I think it looks fabulous!
God, IKEA is a fun place. I think it’s probably a good thing the one near us is a bit of a project to actually get to …
Ah! Storage! Looks awesome!
That’s what I need, a trip to IKEA.
Looks Great! I’m envious that you’re done. I suppose May & Chaos are a little sad to see all those cardboard Ikea boxes go…..
Very impressive!
I think Mayhem should be featured in an Ikea ad, jumping from the furniture.
Oh so very organized! How type A of you!
Amazingly organized!
wow–organization!
and many many black kittehs…not just a-leaping ones. cool! =)
It looks great! When I saw the first picture I wondered if it would be long before one of the cats was on there.
Hi Chris,
I am sure you have been through this already, but I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award!
do you mind sharing which IKEA “line” you have going on there? I’m soon to be in the market for a new entertainment center and that part in the middle looks pretty neat
Awe how nice of you to build a new cat condo for Chaos & May! It looks good.
OMG! That looks really great. You must be so relieved that it’s done in time for spring. (Now, no spring cleaning since it’s already done.) It’s a nice selection of components.
VERY nice!!
Gorgeous, Chris. I love it! So organized and everything matches. It’s like a dream!
It looks perfect! For you and the kittehs.
That’s such a sweet picture of Chaos and Mayhem! She really likes him licking her ears? Urg. 🙂
Oh, wow, I lurrvvv! That’s a lot of stuff to put together. I’m impressed.
Very nice!
looks great. the Ikea gods will be pleased with your altar to them. 😉
I looks really nice. I love all the shelves.
It’s very nice. Good job! It looks like the kitties have made themselves at home with it too. (Not that I had any doubts.)
Very nice! That was a lot of work!
we’ve been contemplating an ikea trip
Fabulous!
It is lovely! Darn those Ikea guys and their design smartness…
