"...as soon as you buy IKEA, you start working for IKEA..." that's what a friend of mine complained about the swedish furniture retailer. I've worked hard for IKEA in these years, customizing the basic items to fit my personal needs. Here's a gallery of examples (beware, name of items may vary from country to country).
 
Vink
VINK is supposed to hold CDs, but by coupling two of them you will get a dish drainer (works also with circular dishes, design Enrica Vatteroni). (jpeg, 65k).
 
Billy 01
BILLY is a very cheap shelf system. Modules come in two heights, 202 and 106cm. I piled them up to  maximize wall coverage. (jpeg, 69k).
 
Billy 02
BILLY comes in two different shelf spans, 80 and 60cm. First bends under book load, second has no front panels. I accomodated FAKTUM front panels on a BILLY 60cm structure (jpeg, 62k).
 
Faktum
FAKTUM modular kitchen system is here integrated in a handcrafted frame (jpeg, 84k).
 
Peter + Liden
Bookshelf combines PETER stands with handcrafted shelves. I had to shorten the legs of LIDEN tv carrier to fit a larger screen (jpeg, 59k).
 
Radium 01
RADIUM rail spotlight system was deconstructed to fit on the bathroom mirror (jpeg, 69k).
 
Radium 02
Spotlight prop was screwed to a clip gripped on the mirror. (jpeg, 65k).
