IKEA&cats

*

I always love it when two things that I really love come together - like when I found out that Lenard Cohen and Janis Joplin had an affair :D

IKEA UK recently let loose 100 cats in their Wembley store overnight  “just to see what happens”.
I would have loved to be there! Anybody who has ever owned a cat for more than 5 minutes knows how they love to investigate every little corner, to climb to the highest piece of furniture and declare autonomy on the comfiest spot in the room!

I heard about this experiment a few weeks ago and today I was looking on the IKEA website and I found this game that you can play and win IKEA furniture by guessing which piece the cats chose!

More details and delightful images with kitties nosing around in this video:

I love the slow motion with the cat landing on the glass table!! :D

will you take us home?

if you're a big fan of ikea and diy, ikeahacker can offer you inspirations on how you can customize those mass-produced ikea accessories or furnishings and make it your own! just to list some of my favourites:

sabrina's bedroom vanity

make-up is made easy now even if your room is as dim-lit as mine! wouldnt it be great to have such a dressing table?

another favourite:
how to revamp that captain's bed?

before


after

in all honesty, i actually like it even before the revamp! even though it looks rather messy, i thought it's more of an organized mess.

on another note, with so many housewarming parties to look forward to in 2008 and people revamping their rooms, (recall thefadgirl's room?)


wouldnt it be great to share your lil corner with us? be a gracious host and send us a picto of any nice spot at your house, or anywhere, to team.fad@gmail.com!
