Ikea Rast Hack





Ok, So I love Ikea hacks. Looking at http://www.ikeahackers.net/ to see what people come up with is extremely entertaining!

The Rast night stand comes in unfinished pine and is only $34.99!


It's plain and the knobs are super ugly! Here is my inspiration:

  

I really like the ring pulls and I found the BEST knob website! It's http://www.knobdeals.com/ you get such a great deal on the knobs! My aunt just re-did her kitchen and bought her knobs from this site. They were $.99 cents on this site, but at home depot they were $4-6!


I bought these knobs from knob deals:

#1122 - 1-7/8 Drawer Pull, Roman Bronze
They were $.99 cents each. You can view them on the website by clicking here.

Next. My sister helped me put the dresser together--- Do you know how much fun putting Ikea furniture can be?!?



After we got it assembled, I used a wood stain that my parents already had in their basement and white ceiling paint they also already had! I put the wood stain on the top and sides, then painted the drawers white. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) (they have the best "work shop" in their basement!)


Here is it after it had been painted and after I attached the knobs





Update: I did another rast hack for an entry way! I wanted the campaign style for less. I got brass Corners and brass pulls from Home Depot here she is:
