I have a love/hate relationship with IKEA. I vacillate between nightmares of my early-20’s self putting an entire apartment worth of furniture together with 8,000 small wooden pegs and the dreaded IKEA allen wrench and the great leaps IKEA has made in design recently (I particularly love the new PS 2014 Collection, which should hit your IKEA this month, and the TRENDIG 2013 Collection, especially the geometric dishes). And just in case I ever get enough time, tools, and space to do so {or convince Suzanne’s super DIY savvy husband Jim to help me}, I’ve been running up a pretty serious tab of IKEA hacks to undertake. Here’s what’s currently topping my list:
1. Dream Green DIY’s easy paint hack of LINNMON tables.
2. This hack of IKEA plywood drawers looks easy enough for me.
3. I’ve really been loving poufs lately and if I suddenly acquire mad sewing skills, maybe I can whip this hack of an IKEA ottoman up.
4. Sugar & Cloth’s hack of the MALM headboard using Stikwood looks super awesome.
5. Hither & Thither’s quick spraypaint hack of the PATRIK Swivel Chair (which I actually used to own).
6. It’s no secret how we feel about bar carts and I love this hack from Style Me Pretty.
7. Petite Apartment did a great mid-century mod hack on the IKEA BESTA cabinet.
8. Another great Style Me Pretty gold and gilded hack.
9. A mid-century modern hack of the prolific LACK coffee table.
Love the style me pretty campaign hack!
Isn’t is fabulous? I feel like you could pull that off, Cath!
