3 different friends - completely unrelated (including Stacey) were on the loose this weekend at IKEA.
That got me thinking of
The answer is that I really "need" nothing (nor another project!) so my friend order list was disappointingly small. We all accept and even <3 IKEA - standard living essentials!
But many of us do wish to make IKEA pieces uniquely ours....thus the IKEA HACK has evolved!
Here's some ( of millions ) of the hacks that have caught my eye. Try one and show us!
The custom BILLY built-in hack :
Always a favourite because it functions, costs barely anything and looks super rich.
BILLY bookcases together with some molding... Nice!
Restoration Hardware rope mirror inspired GRUNDTAL hack:
I have 2 faux RH rope mirrors bought from Homesense for $60 & $80 each, but this GRUNDTAL hack is great and even more budget friendly ( $30) !!
Apartment Therapy
EXPEDIT shelf box covered and glued with any reclaimed wood and a cool pull...DONE!
Wow..creative people...<3 your ingenuity! Look at this INGO ($69!) table hack:
Some dowling glue and 1x2. Brilliant update .
More shelving...the sky is the limit here because its just SPRAY PAINT!!!
VITTSJO hack:
Centsational Girl
RAST 3 drawer chest transformed! ( $35 unfinished)
Paint + Campaign style pulls and flat brass corners COMPLETELY change the look of these dressers!
Also O'verlays is a unique decorative fretwork panel that is glued onto any flat drawer surface . Tons of designs to choose from . Cool!

A: what I "need" (read: want) and
B: how can I upcycle an IKEA piece into something different?!
