1. Art Upgrade: With the help of a FREE stock photo image and a recycled IKEA frame, this crafter created a chic wall statement that’s simply too gorg (and affordable) to ignore.
2. Furry Friend: When this DIYer fell in love with a pricey CB2 stool, she used a IKEA MARIUS Stool ($20) to create her own. The final result? A totally glam lookalike.

3. Dresser Impress-er: What do you get when you cross the IKEA RAST Drawer Chest ($35) with some chic gold hardware? An item that’s truly dressed to impress.
4. “Investment” Coasters: Elevate your dinner party with a DIY coaster set that looks completely luxe. Gold and white paints are all you need to create this stunning accent.
5. Two-Tone Treasure: Transition the IKEA MICKE Desk ($80) into an entirely new furnishing with two neutral paint tones. Bonus: It’ll go well with just about everything.

6. Bar Cart Makeover: This may look like a real marble stunner, but it’s all (marble) contact paper. Using the IKEA SUNNERSTA Utility Cart ($40), you can make your own at-home gem.
7. Bedside Beautiful: Those crystals? That marble countertop? We didn’t even know a bedside table could look so fab.
8. For The Record(s): One crafter took her outdated dresser and changed it into the perfect home for her record player. Obviously, it was only natural that she made a matching container to hold all of her “oldies but goodies” to boot.

11. Plant Stand: Combine one wooden cutting board with an IKEA MARIUS Stool ($21) and you’ve got a plant stand that elevates anything you display on it.
12. Stained Delight: Some paint, stain, and a cute pom-pom or two turns IKEA dressers into a #bossbabe-worthy statement desk.
