If you were with me yesterday, you saw the beginning of my first Ikea hack. I started with a Micke, an amazing storage cabinet that is my very own craft room. But, the thing was super boring. Thus, the makeover. Check out
yesterday's post to see how I started it.
I woke up early this morning to clean up the paint on the Micke. Really made a big difference, and cleaned up the whole look.
Then, I enlisted Ben to help me hang the drawer pulls. Since the piece didn't have any holes before, we got to break out the power tools! [and the level] Yahoo!
I'm really pleased with the end product. If you don't remember what it looked like before, here it is:
World, please meet the new and improved Micke!

The best part about this whole thing? It only cost about $12 for everything. Plus, the cabinet was about $70 brand new. Totally affordable. Totally practical. Totally awesome.

Had to add this...
