I fell in love with the before and after project I saw on
Ikea's blog in which a designer took the
Rast chest of drawers that retails for $29.99 and made it over, adding paint, new hardware, and stenciled numbers. It reminded me of the
ordinal chest of drawers Anthropologie sells for $998, more than 30 times the cost of the Ikea DIY. A chest of drawers is one of the most versatile items for a home, working as a nightstand, entryway table, dresser, TV stand, or office storage, and unfortunately costs upwards of $100 at most retailers. Considering you can get such a unique looking piece at such a low cost, why spend more?

What?!? $29.99. People are so clever. And they even styled it for us.
I'm loving all of the Rast hacks I've been seeing lately, including this one!

Another brilliant Rast hack! Someone needs to start a blog devoted to these.
Any chance you remember the name of the paint you used?
