Two Ikea Hacks
Everyone loves an Ikea Hack right?!! So I put one to the test. The Rast dresser makeover. One that has been roaming the internet for a while. I saw it in Little Green Notebook here and in the Little House Blog here. I needed two cute but cheap night tables for my guest bedroom. But mostly I just wanted to have a 'go' at being handy. So I went from this:
to this:
I was very happy with the result, although it wasn't as cheap as I had anticipated. I had to buy several paint brushes, the knobs, paint, primer, wood stain, and polyurethane to seal the wood stain in. Maybe I should have gone to the thrift store to see what kind of night tables they had there! But they look cute and they are sturdier than what I had expected. And I was proud to have made them myself.
The second Ikea hack was mine, all mine! This Agen kids' chair makeover was simple. I just spray painted it with primer first, and then added some white spray paint coats in white! Add a cushion and voila!!
