My Ikea Hack

First off what your about to see is not finished and the room is a complete MESS! But I'm so excited I figured I'd show you anyway...


This is still a work in progress, I will have completed pics at the end of the week. I'm really loving how this is coming out. These cabinets started out as basic maple IKEA Pax wardrobes with a brown stripe painted on them... see below..



( before)
Updated them with the left over fretwork panels I had from my sunporch project . I had panels of mirror cut to the same size as the panels, and then applied both to the doors. A carpenter made the frame surrounds and decorative panels below. Still need to add crown molding and knobs. They are going in the black guest room I've been working on for a client. (The O & L black Minaret paper is up so is the new chandelier, fabulous love love!)








Also, here is a peek at the other bedroom. Still need to hang drapes tomorrow, but headboard, some bedding and other goodies arrived so here's where its at.

    Thanks! The bedding (blue banded duvet & pillowcases) is from Williams Sonoma Home, the dustruffle and shams were made with La Fiorentina/ Blue 2430-GWF and the orange damask is Schumacher -Harmon Manor.

    hey, great job! I came across this today while surfing around the net for images. What color did you use in the guest bedroom or the one with the starburst mirror above???

    Thanks! I used Ben Moore Revere pewter in the room with the starburst and the guest room is a black on black zigzag wallpaper from Osborne and Little. I can't recall the pattern name at the moment.

    OK I REALLY need to do this to some Pax wardrobes for our dressing room. Sadly I think they are a little too tall for the angled ceiling in the room. Must find another low cost wardrobe to hack like this.
