DIY Project: IKEA Drawer Chest Makeover

I have never showed you the DIY project I did a couple months ago for our upstairs living room!

I had an old white drawer chest (bought at IKEA like 20 years ago!) from my childhood bedroom and I had the great idea to give a second life to it! 

I put a black/white damask wallpaper on each drawer (3) and I had to be really careful because of the damask pattern, I wanted it to be perfect! It took me like 6 hours to do it! I painted the top and sides with black paint. I also purchased 6 silver knobs and I think the final result is great! And it looks really nice in our grey living room!

Total transformation cost:  $50 (approximatively)

Unfortunately, I didn't think to snap any pictures of it before the makeover!!! But you can figure that it was a really old piece of furniture, it used to be white, but it was more like a pale yellow color ha!

Here some pictures of the final product:




There is a lot of storage to put all my DVD!

I just love that damask pattern! And this is an unique piece of furniture!

Did you do any DIY projects recently?

Today is my parents 29th anniversary! Happy anniversary to them!!! 29 years is a long time! They got married in April 1982 when my mom was 23 and my father 25! They met in university circa 1979 I think, my mom was evolved in an other relationship but my father won her heart! I'm so glad he did!!!


Have a great Thursday everyone!
