Being a young adult out of college and at the bottom of the ladder in what I am considering a professional career, about 85% of my furniture has been bought from Ikea. As I mature in age and mentality (RIGHT!?) I am starting to get bored of the Ikea look. Everything is too similar. I need more texture, something more to make it reflect my style. The thought of tossing my furniture out (or selling on craigslist) and practically starting over is laughable, because then I will have nothing or be in debt like woah.
Along comes Ikea Hackers. To save me. The smallest changes can make it all your own. One in particular from a blogger (that I just started following because of this) impressed me the most. I have a 4 drawer chest similar, that I want to update. She posted it on Ikea Hackers, rightfully so and we thank you, but here is her actual blog: California Callahans. Here is what she did with hers:
I love love love the paintable wall paper adding texture and detail to the drawers. She just inspired me to do something similar with mine. Here is the before picture:
Stay tuned....
Hopefully hacking,
