DIY | IKEA STOOL NIGHTSTAND (Cheap Nightstands Reviews)

DIY IKEA STOOL TO NIGHTSTAND


So I do not know if I would really call this a DIY project or maybe more than one Ikea hack or just a random idea that I had .... Anyway I was looking for a nice little bed for Asher that will fit well you follow your baby bed. The problem that I have run into is the most headboard was made to fit beside the bed often and too high to put next to a toddler bed. I have found a couple that worked headboard but their prices are just a little crazy!

DIY | IKEA STOOL NIGHTSTAND
When we were in California I picked up this little stool Ikea Ikea on one of my runs and I did not really use it. Why, I do not really know it was just always hidden. Anyway I was directed to Pinterest to get some ideas and decided that this small stool would be a perfect bedside at Asher's room. I plan to paint it, but I really like the feel of natural wood and think it compliments the rest of your room as well.


I accessorized small stand with a few of your favorite books we want to read before bed and a shinny yellow school bus! The useful thing about having a headboard that he can set up his glasses and sippy cup on it at night before he headed to bed.




Oh and I almost forgot to mention this division is about $ 15! $ 15 for a bed is almost unheard of these days!

I love how small your space is coming together. Every time we move to a different house, I always like to create a small space for his pleasure. I'd love to rip the carpet and paint the walls beige formidable, but the apartment complex we probably would not approve. Each lease we live in has always assured me of what I really want in a house which we would own. And I'm praying we are in a house in early summer.

What do you think about this little night stand? You can buy the chairs here. This classification has shipped on its website Ikea also so if you do not have to play one, not to worry! It also comes in a few different colors as well!

DIY | Stenciling & Staining



Custom DIY Stenciling & Staining furniture!



Stencil and furniture Stain!
Here are some alarming before and afters ...






I started with a headboard is in serious bad shape.
Glue, dents, dings, water stains, sticker goo ... you name it ...
This is disgusting!
Redeeming feature is that they have REAL wood ...
I know we can work with it!


The division is in the shape comparison. Thankfully they are cheaper at yard sales.
I built tanks from scrap wood from the garage ... and spare cake.
I spent a lot of time sanding it down.


I'm too cheap to buy a stencil $ 40-50 for a project I'll use one ...
so I improve and make my own.
I inserted my thick plastic right into my cameo silhouette.
Once I adjusted quatrefoil background I want ... I have guests "cut" it.
This plastic is too thick to have cameo cut it out though.

Check Amazon

It was noted the line though ... and that's what I want!


Then I spent hours cutting it out.
Yes, it's slow ... but my son and I heard some of the Hobbit on CD,
so that is fun.


I always put an x on the inside, where I'm cut ... sometimes,
you (okay, me) is very close to something and you take
  and began to cut the wrong parts!


Finally finished!


When there is no spare time ... I measure the surface of everything to
stencil and mark the small x in the center.
Then I lined up my stencil and start in the middle.


Here are the secrets ... repositionable spray.
Keep it in place while you work!


I use a slightly off-white paint Paris that I
sat around and a stipple brush


One you do stenciling ... you wait until the paint is completely
dried before pressing it down again and paint the next section.


But it worked pretty well, because I had a lot of surface
needs to be painted ... so I just walked around until all central
is painted and then be the first ready for part 2, and so on.



At first I was not going to either side of the bed stencil ...
Besides, I have run out of white paint! But it needs it, so I got out some
acrylic paint and did it.


Not a perfect paint match, but close enough.
Well, they still looked boring to me, so I edged them in aqua blue.
and let dry overnight.


Oh, ya, painted inside drawers too!
And used up all my aqua paint as well!


The next day is the fun!
Dye!
I used black walnut stain. I want it up ... so I painted it on with a
Paintbrush and then rub off the excess with a rag old.
Repeated on all surfaces. I love how it makes the stencil turned out!


Give it a rich look!


When dye was made ... the buttons and knobs need to be replaced.
I had a ton of random buttons I got at a yard sale ... any match.
and they were booked.


I just sprayed all brass and copper they fit perfectly now!


See how they work perfectly with the color of wood?



And here is a picture of the product series has been completed!


Perfect fit little bedroom set!
