I made my way to Ikea this past weekend to try to find a kitchen table that can hold my food.
But rent and cell phone bills were due recently so both me and my partner felt poor, so after not finding anything under 60 bucks that really fit our needs we went back home, empty handed.
At home sitting in my yard trying to figure out how to store my food, i noticed a pile of cinder blocks.
and then it came to me, What if people instead of going to ikea to buy their modular furniture, built it with less cost? Could we start a movement of people building furniture out of house hold items that could be easily taken apart?
We could have more fun with what we live in, save money and be more creative. Seems like win win to me.
The product that i came up with was the food shelf. i encourage you to build your own furniture and see what you can come up with!

I had randomly cinder blocks in my yard from a dream my house mates had of running a weekend vegan cafe out of our house. This idea never came together but the cinder blocks gathered from around the neighborhood did.
I also keep alot of scrap wood around for projects because you never know when the building bug might bite. For most projects you don't need to buy new wood, just go to scrap yards or look around for broken cabnets people are throwing away. The wood you will find is much better than what you find at ikea.
For my food shelf i needed
4 cinder blocks
2 30X9X1/2" pieces of wood

I find it funny that in sims world you actually have to pay money for it.
