Ikea hack

I wanted to incorporate a reading area for my daughter's room and I was so inspired to do an Ikea hack that I found on Pinterest.

I must've waited at least 2 months until Ikea finally had a Bekvam Spice rack in stock. A solid birch wood, it can be sanded and painted or left as is - whatever you prefer. And for the price of $3.99 it's such a deal!

What you'll need:

• Ikea Bekvam Spice Rack
• Sand paper
• Spray paint
• Leveling tool
• Drywall anchor with screws
• Screw driver
• Hammer

  

Assemble the spice rack as instructed
Sand them and wipe the wood dust off
Apply paint, Let dry.
Install drywall anchors for good support
Spaced a foot a part
And Enjoy!



This project took me 2 days to complete which isn't bad at all considering I changed the color three times. I originally bought pink paint, tested it out and I didn't like it. Then painted it purple and still I was unhappy with the color, Finally I decided to go with Green apple since I just bought a green and white curtain for her closet and also to somewhat match with her bright green carpet.

Mikaela's room update

OK. So, here's 1 month after progress for Mikaela's room and it is about 80% done.

 

Carpet from Target and the rest from Ikea.

 

wall decal from Target and TV still needs to be mounted on the wall

 I received my Parenting Magazine for the month of May and I saw the Offspring/My Space on page 28 and I have the same inspiration as seen on my last blog. Pretty close to what I currently have set up in my daughter's room. I still have to put the pennants up, put 3 book shelves on the wall and decorate the wall where the TV will be placed and that should complete it.

And she loves it!
