Hacked IKEA bookshelf

Materials: LEKSVIK dining table, INGOLF chairs (my chair style is no longer available), FÖRHÖJA kitchen cart, water based polyurethane, foam brushes, 3 cans spray primer, 5 cans spray paint, craft paper, painters tape, orbital sander, 30 grit & 120 grit sandpaper, 320 grit sanding block Description: I have had my kitchen table and chairs for about 6 years and they were starting to show their age. I've noticed that ikea uses a finish that becomes “tacky,” marred, and discolored with use. Very few of ikea's products actually have the same stain and finish. I picked up the kitchen cart at the thrift store for $25 and wanted all the pieces to come together and look like an actual set of furniture rather than a hodge-podge of mis-matched pieces. I also needed to brighten the space in my kitchen to give it the illusion of more space

Materials: 6 * 4×4-Expedits, 1 * 4×2-Expedits, 6 * Perfekt cover panels Description: We live in a 19th century Prussian residential house in the historic city center of Erfurt, a 1270 year old town in central Germany.

VYSSNA SLAPPNA mattress), spray glue, self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape Description: In my new apartment I needed some back rest for my NORDEN bench and also some more space for things like candles, table cloth and napkins. I couldn’t really find some piece of furniture that could fulfill my wish so I thought of working on something myself. My first thought was: FAKTUM.

Materials: Fläta storage rack for writing materials, VARDA or BEHANDLA glazing paint, piece of wood, 3 BLECKA hooks, 2 hangers (from a construction market), gold paint Description: I needed something to organize my keys and letters so I thought of working something myself. I had some piece of wood left over. I glazed this with the VARDA glazing paint which I actually use for my outdoor furniture (it works with the BEHANDLA the same but I like the color of VARDA and it fits better to the furniture in the corridor). The glaze was very quick dry

Photo courtesy of IKEA Materials: HEMNES and IKEA Fabric Description: I have a white HEMNES Chest of drawers that I was bored with. I bought some Ikea fabric, some Spray Mount Glue, AND I GOT NEW FURNITURE! The fabrics I chose were ANNAMOA blue, ANNAMOA green and LILLIVI. About 28cm of each. It is very easy, clean the surface

Materials: Anton, high gloss paint, d-c-fix Self Adhesive Vinyl Description: Practical but UGH-LY hand-me-down cabinet with a huge old grease stain on top. No way this was gonna stand next to my Expedits in my home office/livingroom looking like that! Fast and easy fix. Lightly sanded everything then painted the outside, drawer edges and handles (which I had removed previously) using black high gloss paint.

Materials: Ekby Jarpen shelves, Vippa hooks, Ekby Robert Brakets, Besta frame Description: Moving into a new apartment we had trouble finding some hallway furniture to fit in the designated place.

Items used: – 2 Ekby Jarpen shelves 119 x 28 – 1 Ekby Jarpen shelf 79 x 19 – 5 Vippa hooks – large – 5 Vippa hooks – small – Wallpaper – Black spray paint My English is not very fluent so I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
