It just so happened that I was selected for the Country Chic Paint Blogger Squad right around the same time I wrapped up my tufted headboard DIY - That had me immediately dreaming about bedside tables for my first CCP project. I searched Craigslist for days but nothing was really speaking to me (because furniture speaks obviously). I had aways pictured something a little taller and more regal so I was really hoping to luck out on a pair of small dressers. When that dream came and went I hit up Pinterest to inspire me - That is when I found an unlimited search of Ikea Rast hacks.
The Rast is filed under "dresser" on Ikea's website but at 27" tall and 24" wide, I would hardly label this a dresser unless I only owned three shirts. You know what it is perfect for though? A night stand! I already had a design in mind before I found the Rast but that didn't stop me from drooling over some of these hacks. At about $35 a piece I might just end up with them all over my house serving different functions. I am totally inspired by the people who built up their Rast to add trim, molding, new larger tops, etc - This inexpensive Ikea furniture is hardly recognizable anymore!
What do you think? Are you inspired? Guess which one mine will be similar to - Stay tuned this week to see what I do with my Rast dressers.

Wow! So cool. I really wish I had and Ikea close.
The bedside table one with the white drawers and stained outside is amazing! Who knew you could do all of that with that Ikea drawer! I will definitely remember this.
