Photo: IKEA.com   My goal was to make a simple laundry cart for a room in the attic with a very low ceiling, 2ft/60cm at its lowest. It had to be easy to move around, have several compartments, affordable, and nice to look at. Instructions for KNAGGLIG rolling laundry cart / storage box: 1. Assemble the KNAGGLIG crates according to the instructions. 2. Attach two crates side by side using a total of four short wood screws that go through the topmost and the lowest piece of wood. Make sure alignment is good. The crate might be slightly crooked. 3. Repeat for the other two crates. 4. Stack the crates and attach the hinges. One in the middle and one in each end. 5.

Poland-based Studio 3XA completed the design of a small duplex apartment in the lovely city of Wrocław, in the up-and-coming Nadodrze district. The 914 square-foot space consists of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom division that includes a work area and an open kitchen and dining space.

The bedroom is painted in a deep blue, which gives a midnight feeling (still my favorite color for a bedroom, even though I have seen it over and over). Lastly the office space has a wallpaper, which makes this room different then all the others. I like the built in sofa area here as well and the door that was kept unpainted. via Entrance Makleri First seen on Coco Lapine Design
