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?

  1. Very nice!

    I'm not creative like that. I would never think to transform something old into something that pretty.
