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.
