Prettypegs - New colorful legs for your IKEA furniture

The second I saw these colorful and fun replacement legs for IKEA furniture I thought: BRILLIANT! The next second I thought: Why didn't anyone think earlier of this?! And: Why didn't I think of this? Prettypegs is a Swedish company (not really a surprise, right?) that offers a variety of legs to chose from for IKEA sofas and bed. Plus they also offer their legs with an universal fitting plate which allows you to add a personal touch to any other furniture, too!

At least half of the furniture I acquired in recent years was bought off ebay, at the thrift-store or given to me for free via the freecycle mailing list. And my old Bonde sideboard and TV unit are living with our friends now. By the way the Bonde sideboard would look rad with some coloful legs from Prettypegs, too...I can totally see them not only on sofas and beds! I believe in recycling and revamping old furniture. I would never throw out a piece of furniture just because it has gone out of fashion. But I can understand that with time one can get tired of always looking at the same pieces of furniture. And while I love DIY projects there's stuff I don't want to do myself. Like sewing a new slipcover for my couch (Thank you Bemz for another ingenious idea!) Or like carving some pretty wooden legs. OK, if you are one lucky DIY'er you might find some old piece of furniture with pretty legs in the thrift store, saw off the legs, paint them and mount them to your sofa or bed...but hontestly this requires lots of luck plus quite some effort. So much easier to order a set of Prettypegs and a Bemz slipcover to change to look of your sofa or bed...

Now I only need to find a company that sells recplacement sitting cushions for IKEA sofas as mine is pretty worn out...
