    HÅLLBAR is THE BEST! I don't use it for trash but I do use it to store both dry cat food and dry dog food. Makes life so much easier to just pull it out, refill as needed, and lose kibble not be spilling in my cabinet. Love it.

    not sure if you're still seeing comments for this but... thoughts on wood in the bathroom? i am going to be painting my bathroom a beautiful dark purple/magenta and am not sure the grey tiles and finishes are going to be all that nice with it... i've been wanting to do something to warm up it as it feels like a bit of a sterile environment at the moment so i was going to put in something like the mossjon but in wood, and possibly this very nice wooden wastebin from zara, plus maybe swap out my toilet paper stand and have one in wood or bamboo instead. i guess maybe bamboo is the ideal given the moisture of bathrooms? i also have all chrome finishes and not sure how that's all going to work out but not in the market to replace them at all...

    So, I was pushed into giving up my old collection of vinyl records and my turntable about 15 years ago, and I’ve regretted it ever since. My point here is that I refuse to give up my physical CD collection. So long as I have a way to play them, they’re staying with me.
    Anyway, back in the 90’s I purchased two of the Classic BILLY CD storage units from the store in Burlington, Ontario (near Toronto), one in a deep red color, the other in deep blue. I still continue to collect Classic CD’s today as well, along with new ones from select artists. Which leads to my crushing disappointment to find that IKEA no longer makes this item, at least not for sale in the U.S. market (I now shop at the Tempe, AZ location). Do you know of any comparable CD storage units that you might recommend…? 🙂

    i'm with you 1000% on reeded glass. i have some in my kitchen, and i love it; it's just a lovely look. The mirrors, however, are another story. i hate mirrors, because the last thing i want to do is see more of myself than absolutely necessary. We have two mirrors in our main bathroom and one in the second, and that's more than enough. And just a thought on the Eket -- i don't know how much weight they can hold, but the ones with a door could be used as a kind of pantry in a small space. And if they were arranged in an interesting way, they'd also function as decor; no one would have to know you're got your chicken noodle soup in there 😁 Great video, as always, DD -- and yes, more of these would be great. Ikea has so much to look at and you bring it down and make it manageable.

    I bought three IKEA pieces and all of them are incredibly cheaply made. The sides are corrugated cardboard and painters tape will pull the extremely thin coat of finish off. I had to weigh out everything that was going on a shelf so the sides would support it. The doors on two units were so awkward and heavy that they had to be adjusted every time they were opened and closed. One piece was supposed to have a wood finished top--it was contact paper. For what IKEA costs, it is not worth the money.

    I know Swedish pronounciation is hard non-speakers, but please do learn how to pronounce the letter Å/å. It's not A/a, it's kind of like "oh", but with the "o" as in how Santa says "ho ho ho", not as in "orange". It'd make a world of a difference for your Swedish viewers to hear that one letter pronounced correctly, trust me ;)

    You make really decent videos. I would just recommend not spending so much time on one item but overall good job. I am a designer myself and currently been revamping some styles for my craft room and guest bedroom working in SketchUp/design software. I’ve been making a lot of content for DIY, home, renovation, Christmas, decor, etc. I just need to sit down and edit them so I have a bunch of videos but it’s nice seeing other designers talk about work and so forth. Have a great day!

    That glass cabinet looks like something out of Ferm Living at a fraction of the cost.
