Basically my dream bedroom! |

I can do this... |
And then, I saw these beauties for $34.99 each at Ikea:

Ikea Rast 3 Drawer Chest |
And I decided to DIY my own Ikea hack!(Ok, so I really only painted them, but that still counts as a hack, right?)
I bought two of these guys and loaded them up, brought them home and assembled them. Took me and my husband about 30 mins to put together both, it was fairly simple.
Assembled |
After I assembled them, I realized since I was painting the insides of the drawer a different color, it would be easier to do with them apart. So I then took the drawers back apart!
I don't have any in progress photos, but after two trips to walmart for extra primer (the raw wood really soaks it up!) here they are:
I plan on replacing the knobs with something more exciting, if I can ever make up my mind! I painted the outside white, and the inside of the drawers is "BauHaus Gold" by Krylon.
I found this awesome fabric on my first trip to the fabric store! That is rare for me, usually I have to take about 5 trips before I can decide, but this one was perfect!
Gray and yellow with little birds... Amazingness. |
I used Modge Podge to adhere the fabric to the drawer bottoms before I reassembled the drawers.
I'm picturing maybe some clear glass knobs? |
I LOVE how they turned out! And currently they are the only piece of finished furniture in my bedroom! Once I decide on some knobs I will post an update.
Has anyone else tried an Ikea Hack lately?
Love the fabric - I'm so into birds right now! And the color of the drawers in an unexpected treat...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I also love bird patterns... and they are gaining popularity now, so it's easier to find them!
