Cat proofing a floor lamp By: Barry

Materials: A picture frame, an IKEA kitchen cabinet, cat door flap and a piece of wood, NOT floor lamp

I could not stop my cat from knocking over a floor lamp. Having already hacked a kitchen cabinet with a cat door flap and a picture on the side (cat sleeping area). I drilled a hole through the top and inserted the floor lamp and reattached the base plate to fit on the cabinet floor. I then ran the two lamp cables through the hole in the top and out the back. Armored the cables with IKEA cable protectors. I used a connector box on the rear and one power on/off switch on the rear to kill power to the lamp when not needed.

Light for a tight space By: Barry

Materials: Forsa floor lamp plus olev table leg

I have a very tight space between the end of the couch and a Billy bookcase. I took the base off a Forsa table light. I removed the round plastic end from a Olev adjustable table leg and attached the lamp with a rubber door stop to the bottom of the leg. Screwed the leg into a piece of wood with the original lamp weighted bottom set on the board for stability.

Remote Control Storage By: Barry

Materials: LACK side table, Rationel drawer insert

Description: I needed a storage area for multiple remotes and with a cat, flat surface was a no go. Cut into a lack table and inserted a Rationel drawer insert. Added wood to the side to hold small items. Installed 4 wheels on the legs to move easily.
