sam’s nightstands | ikea rast hack

October 20, 2015

This weekend I finished the Ikea RAST nightstands for Sam’s room.
I never had an exact vision for them when I brought them into his room.  I had stained them gray a while back and there they sat for a long time.  The stain was jacked up too.  One was MUCH darker than the other.  Note to Self: Don’t stain them on different days with one day being in the hot sun :/
After sanding down the dark one and putting a paint pen to good use, here’s what they look like today!

 

How To Do It:
STEP ONE:  Stain entire piece Minwax Classic Gray and let dry.   
 
STEP TWO:  Using a level as my straight edge and as the width between lines, I penciled in where my painted lines would go.

 

 

STEP THREE:  Use the level as your straight edge, and go over your penciled lines with a white paint pen.
STEP FOUR:  Add some knobs and you’re done!
You may have noticed I also have his Jenny Lind bed finished and completely put together!!!  Woohoo!  I’ll share how we created slats for it and the paint color in another post.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I’ll leave you with Mr. Crazy Pants who thought it was great fun to run in and grab his cars one by one while Mommy took photos 🙂

    Sam has such a beautiful bedroom and your idea with renovating the nightstands is brilliant. I love the why there are now fitting in the room. That giraffe is soooo cute. 😀 Thanks for sharing your tricks with us.
    Since I find you so interested in interior design, I would like to invite you to explore our rug world here: http://feltballrug.com/meet-the-team/ (it is our new video about our social impact). You’ll quickly find that a felt ball carpet is quite unlike anything else: http://feltballrug.com/inspiration . What do you think about them?

    These two graphic nightstands are brilliant. It is worth an appreciation.
