Designer Kristine McKay took our “Ikea Challenge” and ran with it…we gave her a pretty tight budget, but she actually came in under the allotted $75!
I was very excited to find this 3-drawer chest from IKEA – and was even more excited when I found out it was only $39.99. I added a few features to turn it into a classy bathroom hutch:
• I took out the bottom two drawers and put in shelves
• Used a large French damask stencil on the top
• Added glass drawer pulls to the front
• Added an antique silver towel rack to the side, with decorative towel
• Added three wicker baskets with ribbon labels that contain hand towels, handmade soaps, etc.
• The top drawer contains candles, lufas, and other bath supplies
On the top I placed cool glass jars of various shapes and sizes that contain homemade bath salts, oils, and fizzy bath bombs (although that’s not what the segment is featuring, I will have all of the recipes on the website). I also used the drawers that I removed for underbed storage. I decopauged them with decorative paper and added rollers on the bottom and a drawer pull.
