Materials: Malm, paint roller, paint, dots stickers, lacquer
Description: We own quite old Malm chest of drawers and I was still not able to find a suitable place for it in our new house. At the end I decided to place it in children's room but with it's original 'clothing' seemed to be a bit boring. So space for pimping up.
After gentle sanding, I painted it with paint roller in 3 layers and after drying I started with applying dots. I prepared a pattern to help me to apply dots more or less regularly. After I managed to stick 520 dots, I painted it with a protective coat of transparent lacquer.

Lovely and wonderful idea :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeleteI like the paint jobs many of the posts here show, but maybe it would be better to make an "ikeapainter" category out of them. It would make it more obvious if the hack is a paint job or a real hack.
Fatastic, so inspirative idea for a children room, I´ll definitely use it in my next project! Eva Ť.
ReplyDeleteI consider the "pattern tool " and its way of use a very inspirative :-D
