Sharing about my $25 framed oversized art addition in my stories 💙🌊. A trimmed engineering-sized print (would have been even more massively amazing if I tracked down a bigger frame!), a favorite free stock photography site, a repurposed IKEA frame. Feeling like simple wall pieces is becoming a big part of the new house update.

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.

Happy Thursday y’all! For anyone who knows me, knows I’m a sucker for good tunes 🎶 and a good #diy project! And if you didn’t know, now ya do! 😉This right here is a pic capturing my love of both! I turned this old dresser into a painted/stained graphic piece to house all of my art supplies, and give our record player a place to live. Tip I learned- if you are using painters tape for straight lines, and to eliminate anything bleeding through the tape, put a thin coat of polyurethane along the tape seem, let it dry, and paint away! I was skeptical, but man oh man did it work!!! We then used these cabinet boxes from @ikeausa on either side to put all of our records in! Project success if you ask me 🤘🏼 —- P.S. There’s a few items shown in this pic that are coming to the shop update very soon! Do you know what they are?! 🖤 • • • • • • • #lifeinspirithome #diyhomedecor #diyproject #fairtrade #fairtradehomedecor #handmade #handmadehomegoods #vintage #vintagehomedecor #textiles #apartmenttherapy #ikeahack #vinylcollection #dslooking #dstexture #mybohohome #showmeyourboho #bohohome #supportsmallbusiness #mudcloth #plantlady #putaplantinit #mybohoabode #thedoors #thebeatles #crazyhorse #denvercolorado #denversmallbusiness #denverboutique

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 For The Record(s): One crafter took her outdated dresser and changed it into the perfect home for her record player.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.

Remember my desk situation at the office? 👩🏼‍💻 Well in case you forgot, I thought I’d remind you of how GOOD it looks with the IKEA RAST dressers, that we expertly stained using Minwax. It’s such a joy to sit down at a grand desk each day! 🖥💖 • • • • #apartmentherapy #sodomino #cdnblogsquad #minwaxstain #ikeahacks #diydesk #myhomesense #mongoliansheepskin #colourmyhome #bolddecor #saturatedcolor #abmlifeiscolorful #iamcreative #studiospace #buffalocheck #patternmixing #mycuratedaesthetic #mycollecteddecor #currentdesignsituation #societyofdesign #finditstyleit #howyouhome
