Ikea Dresser Hack

A little weekend project turned into an less than perfect transformation, but now that it's all done, it was worth it.

Here is a little Ikea hack of my own.

Here is our dresser. We have two, placed side-by-side to make a mega dresser. It was inexpensive and it had a lot of storage space, great for a newlywed couple on a budget.

Well, the look of them never thrilled me and years later, I have finally done something about it.

After applying a stencil with chalk paint (and antique glaze) I added a a custom fit wood top and I feel it looks so much better.

(Ignore the pile of pillows in the corner.) Collectively, I invested about $95 in paint, stain, wood, stencil, screws, glue, wood filler, etc. I really like the look now, well worth it.

No "how to" here...just a picture and an idea to share. :)
