Well not exactly DIY.... but I have aspirations to do lots of DIY in the flat :)
Whilst I have a scrap book full of great ideas, designs and styles I have also ventured into looking into ways of using the space in my flat more 'ergonomically'. Which as it turns out involves in a lot off planning and organising...
In the process I have come across a couple of websites which are genius! Great ideas for using space to it's limit and approaches I'd never thought off.
Ikea Hackers
"IkeaHackers.net is a site about modifications on and re-purposing of Ikea products. Hacks, as we call it here, may be as simple as adding an embellishment, some others may require power tools and lots of ingenuity.'
Storage Glee
"A collection of ideas for those who love to stow, and benevolent options for those that don't."
So one particular thing i've found solves the problem of my new fuse box. It's situated bang slap in the middle of the wall in the hallway - where I was planning to put up a mirror...
But look, I've found a solution:

This is obviously someone elses flat, I'm to do it.
Wish me luck!
