It reads like a really like story … no wonder we Adore, Love, Love this winning entry from our pal and fellow IKEA Fan, Ann P., whose winning entry came in just in time!

My daily life just before finding IKEAFANS consisted of factors like getting rid of the door from a drawer I purchased in the As-Is department by brute force. LOL! Large splinters on the back of that piece! Thank heavens I soon identified your great web site. The volume of aid I’ve gotten has just been amazing.

I needed to do my kitchen on a spending budget, so that meant slowly gathering components as they appeared in the As Is. Which meant, there have been in no way instructions, etc. So I came to rely heavily – and gratefully! – on all the instruction pdf’s you make available, many for discontinued things, as nicely as dozens of postings of other individuals dealing with different problems.

One of the most incredible occurrences came when I scored a lot of discontinued AMB glass doors and necessary to replace the glass in the reduce ones with wood. How in the world to do that? Nicely, extremely, IKEAFANS has a page, “How to take away the center panel of an AMB door.” I’m telling you, it really don’t get a lot luckier than that!

So even though I was gradually accumulating supplies, I had plenty of time to prepare my kitchen, and IKEAFANS was like my brainstorming committee. My own individual Consider Tank if you will. I invested hrs hunting at all the great members’ finished kitchens, studying their tips and warnings, and going “ooh! I like THAT!” more occasions than I can count.

So I ended up with a narrow broom closet that is the envy of all my friends a pull-out drawer committed to the trash can and a pull-out spice rack hacked from a 30″ drawer turned on its side. I discovered out how to set up the Ferrari hinges on hacked more than-fridge cabinets that were originally intended to be verticals. And one point I’m grateful for Each and every day, was the idea of putting a rod underneath the sink, about halfway down, on which to hang spray bottles. Glory be! I get pleased every time I re-hang a bottle with no having to stoop more than!

So that is just the kitchen I’ve also identified required information on a couple of wardrobes, a Billy with glass doors, a desktop with legs, you name it.

And apart from all that, as if it weren’t ample, the FRIENDLINESS of the internet site is definitely inspiring – what a wonderful example to set in the world! The staff’s solutions and feedback are constantly upbeat, encouraging, and patient. You truly go out of your way time and yet again to find back links, answer queries, and make your own tips.

And my goodness, there was one particular birthday when IKEAFANS was the only one to send me greetings until late in the day! It just made me smile.

So I’m sure I’ve forgotten a whole lot of things I could mention, but that’s the gist of it correct there. Had been I a poet, I’d compose a sonnet that would go down in background. As it is, I’m just a large IKEAFANS FANGIRL and proud of it!

The adore is mutual, IKEA Fan Ann!  Thanks to all the entrants – we loved reading through via all the entries and are humbled by your generous phrases.

I’m all for innovation in marketing, but IKEA might be taking it a bit far: they seem to be running the world’s first customer disloyalty campaign. They’ve threatened legal action against their most active brand fans and customer champions, in the form of IKEAHackers.net and IKEAFANS.com, in large part for using the IKEA name and marque (in the course of celebrating and praising the brand).

It’s not like those sites have only just come to light. In fact, IKEA and IKEAFANS have been working together since 2007. In return for advance product info and exclusive access/interviews, IKEAFANS provided customer feedback and data. Oh, and created and managed a massive community of IKEA fans out of sheer passion and enthusiasm. IKEAHackers, in case you don’t know, is a wonderful, crowd-sourced compendium of ingenious hacks for IKEA furniture, giving entirely new uses and personality to the BILLYs, EXPEDITs and RIBBAs of this world.
