More IKEA goodness for artists.


Whats that Dick Blick, you want how much for a taboret? NOT BLOODY LIKELY!

Again, IKEA comes to the rescue with the perfect substitute, sold under the name "Bygel" its the bees knees.

It stands just under 1 meter, which means you can stand too. It has a plastic drawer that opens both ways, it has 3 hooks, and three cup holders I have yet to figure out how to use. I might make some brush holder pots or something. It also holds my glass pallet at an angle if I want to go mobile and paint a larger painting somewhere else in the studio.

In short its PERFECT, and a fine bargain at 30 bucks.

  2. It really is Mary! Its all metal too, except the top and drawer which are plastic. The only modification I will make to it is to get a metal saw and shorten the legs that don't have wheels on them, and add some! Apart from that its purrfect!

  3. Tim, this is exactly what I was looking for. You're like some kind of pressboard furniture genius. It surely cannot be just coincidence, the whole Svenska thang.
