IKEA RAST Dresser Hack


IKEA sells a Rast pine dresser that is begging for a creative update. It doesn't hold a lot of clothes, so I made mine into a night stand or bed side table.

After assembling the wood dresser, I painted the drawer fronts with a semi-gloss white paint. Next, I stained the top and sides using a dark brown stain. Once the drawer fronts were dry, I attached brass angle brackets. The handles were scavenged from a dresser on garbage day and painted gold/bronze to match the brackets.

Suddenly, this $30 dresser was elevated into the three figure range.
