We love DIY, and if they are Ikea tunnings we love them even more!! Because everybody can afford Ikea, and having your own personalized piece of furniture is awesome, right??
We have done many Ikea hacks, the last one was painting our kids bed, to give our little cuscus´ room a more Nordic and vintage style.
The hack we’re presenting today consists of changing the famous Malm chest of drawers a little bit, transforming it into a colorful piece for the kid’s play room!
We had never painted anything with a shape or a drawing, and for this chest of drawers we wanted to draw some stripes Chevron style in the front part of one of the drawers, so we applied some masking tape, and we painted everything with it on, to mark the stripes.
Once we have applied the masking tape we can apply some universal prime coat before the paint we had chosen, in this case silky water color paint. This type of paint has a softer smell.
We leave it to dry as the instructions recommend, and just in case we can wait a little bit longer before removing the tape because if we remove it before the estimated time we run the risk of chipping off the paint (it happened to me and I finally had to help remove it with a cutter)
So if you don’t want it to happen to you wait for it to dry for a day or so, and then remove them.
Once you have finished painting, we only have to set some handles, like these ones I saw in Zara home, I felt attracted to them right away there and I honestly think they look perfect there!
With some fruit boxes as shelves we complete the scene!
And since this year I am deeply into yellow color I have satisfied my cravings with this DIY, and little by little the playroom is getting shaped into the room we wanted!
This is the end of this DIY, and we say goodbye until the next one! Did you like this Ikea tunning?
