IKEA Rast Dresser

What would happen if Aubrey + Lindsay's RAST side table:



had a baby with Bungalow 5 Niagara 3-door dresser?



That was the inspiration I had for this IKEA Rast hack I did for a client.

I started by painting the front of the drawers white.


Charlotte loves supervising my DIY projects :)

I wanted the body black, but stained.. not painted. I used IKEA black wood stain (you can see it in some of the images).







I did two coats of black stain, and then three coats of water based poly.

Here is the after:







The knobs are from Anthropologie.

I couldn't get great pictures - hopefully I can get some better ones when the dresser is in my clients home!

  9. Yours looks great. I've loved the first image ever since I first saw it months ago. One of my dogs like to supervise, too. :)

  13. Great items. I was just in HomeGoods on Saturday and Charlotte doesnt have a nearly as nice items as the ones youve posted.

    That mirror is sweet tho.

    I did see a mirror that I wanted while I was in there. I just dont think I wanted to pay the $200 price tag.
