Materials: Ikea Rast, incense burners, paint, brush, saw, emery sandpaper for polishing
Description: A forgotten brown Rast commode in the corner gave me a perfect opportunity to try distressed paint technique.
I also had a few unwanted incense burners.
1. I polished the whole thing, then glued the incense ornaments to the middle of the drawers.
2. Driven by a sudden impulse i cut out a pattern from the bottom spacer with a jig saw, polished and stuck it to the top.
3. I painted the whole commode to light blue.
4. When dry I used sandpaper to distress certain parts of the furniture.

ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Very creative touches with the incense burners and cut-out pattern. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNice work, though I will never understand the need to wilfully "damage" things to make them interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and so well-done. and the room you placed it in is amazing in color and magic!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Thanks for posting this hack!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you put the cut-out piece on top! Would've never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely bedroom. Nicely done!
We should launch a site only with rast-hacks ;-) seems to be the most "transformable" oder hack-able furniture ;-) love it
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Good job! :D
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. And, in the photo where the piece is still brown but has the incense burners on it, it looks quite nice--like something you'd find at Pier One Imports.
ReplyDeleteFAN-TASTIC!!!! Genius. You gave it so much character. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Really looks great, love the creativity with the incense burners. I'm inspired.
