Inspired by Mark Bittman's book, "How To Cook Everything," and all of the crazy hack sites out there, from Lifehacker to Ikeahacker, we've given it the title, Home Hacks, and we're looking for all the smartest tips for doing things better at home. Here are the top 10 from our first week. Got one of your own? Let us know.

when I saw the picture of these chairs I honestly thought it was a tutorial on how to make slipcovers....as it is an easy way to do that. create it inside out and then flip it all. As a designer I can appreciate the creative spirit involved in this creation, but as one who buys for real people, I am trying to imagine what other pieces might create a cohesive space....not sure I like the picture.
Really? I don't get it. This seems like odd for odd sake or deconstruction because you can. But not because you should. I don't see any beauty in this line or flow or . . .
oh, really?
The term "most popular" in your title is deceiving. The IKEA chair slipcover may have received 81 comments, but they were almost all negative.
