Home improvement continued over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. In our previous apartment, I loved these two sets of Ikea drawers. The epitome of functional, they held everything from tape to my TI-83 graphing calculator. Since the move they've been relegated to the basement due to color clashing and general wear-and-tear. A little spray paint and I'm not only declaring these a successful recycle, but an upcycle.
Remember this beauty bought over the holiday break from the Astoria Furniture Market?
A little antique white paint and its ready for its rightful place in the master bedroom.
And while I went on a painting frenzy, Lyle tackled a desk to replace our unsightly, temporary situation.
Recycled drawer fronts from his previous Ikea dresser came together with plumbing pipe to create a sleek double-desk perfect for the two of us. (clutter prohibited)
MLK Day success! President's Day?? Refinishing my dresser (weather permitting of course).
