How to change an old "ODDA" into fine art piece


Materials: ODDA bed side table, paint, silver polish...

Description: After having seen some nice designs on classical furniture, I tried to do the same on an old Ikea bed side table I found next to the bin! After a little sanding and an undercoat, I traced the drawing, then painted details and finished with a silver polish and tinted varnish... Et voila!!!

  3. Hi there,
    the lamp is also an Ikea hack when I think of it! It's an Ikea lamp to which I glued some drifted wood. You can see more here:

  6. Mel, what do you mean by a silver polish? It looks from the pictures like you painted it silver, and then painted the design over that. Is that right? This is fabulous.

  7. Excellent job of turning rubbish to art. I wonder, what's this silver polish you speak of?
