New "Whiteboard"!

MobyDick · 20 Sep 2010 at 13:54

Was in Ikea the other week and say this and thought,I have to have it!

Stainless steel table top, 150cm x 75cm.

Original plan was to mount it length ways and use it for putting photos on with magnets. Wouldn't fit that way so just going to use top half for photos and bottom half as a noticeboard/whiteboard.

It was down from something like €90 to €35. Came as is with this little dent on the bottom:

And yes the walls are shocking, some sort of textured wallpaper painted over

It's my girlfriends grandas house so until he...goes to a better place... it stays that way

No real point to this thread,but i've seen worse.

the wallpaper is called woodchip - it used to be all popular cause it hides how badly your walls are plastered but its a right hoohar to get off - horrible stuff!

Good luck getting it off, my advice, burn it with fire! lol

An actual "white" board would have been better in my opinion - That looks a bit naff

MobyDick · 20 Sep 2010 at 14:34

Can you plaster straight over it?

Coke habit isn't that bad, my not cleaning up habit is worse.

No. Its probably easier to remove the wall and then rebuild the wall.*
It will take off the plaster when you remove it.

*probably not.

What on Earth? Looks hideous to be honest.

Drill bit wasnt the right size and it kept slippin when it got tight

need a bigger one.

The whole room looks like its from the 60s/70s or earlier. Don't care what it looks like,its practical. It also hides some of that stupid woodchip stuff

Major flaw in Op's plan..............stainless steel is non magnetic

And why is the first item on the list "Kill Emma?"

Well the thing holding the pen seems to disagree

Got a funny feeling that you'll have problems with the surface after a while, dry markers aren't all that friendly.

It's not non-magnetic, just less magnetic than normal steel...
