We wanted a built in home office but were on a budget. So IKEA was the solution!

IKEA- We wanted a built in home office but were on a budget. So IKEA was the solution! I put together the cabinets myself and became so good at it I was able to whip them together in 15 ...»
minutes, my son timed me! They are durable (it has held up for 7 years!) & it looks like we spent a ton when we did not.. The most time consuming part was the measuring and planning so that we had every inch available for storage. There are 3 office desks in the office and each desk make you feel like you have your own private area. It has held up for 7 years and if we ever got tired of it, we could easily change it. I have since changed the ceiling fan to a more modern one that fits the space better.

  • Ballast in our light fixture went out, easy $20 fix.
  • As easy as taking old ballast out and putting new one in. Cut power at the circuit breaker first!
  • Old ballast still connected, new ballast to be installed.
  • Cut the colored wires to the old ballast and disconnect the black and white wires from the old ballast. 2
  • New ballast is going up
  • screwing in the new ballast before connecting the wires.
  • connecting the wires.
  • connecting the wires with the new push in wire connectors, MY NEW FAVORITE TOY, had not used these before!
  • My new favorite toy!
  • tuck all your wires in  and put channel back in
  • get it all tucked in.
  • pop light bulbs in
  • I know it is not the newest most updated fixture but I like a LOT of light in my kitchen and have yet to find something that will make me spend the money of new fixtures. For now $20 is good!

Shout out to Mike at the Electrical department of Home Depot. Took me step by step on how to change the ballast out. Even made me a drawing to take home. Told me to call if I came upon any questions! Love those Home Improvement stores, YOU CAN DIY!
