Ikea Rast Side Table Project- Little House Blog DIY


Aubrey and Lindsay from Little House Blog made this beauty


from this stuff.
Genius. And by genuis I mean easy.
And by easy I mean, maybe I could actually do it.  Remember, I am NOT DIY.  I am DIFM (do it for me).  I'm not ashamed.  I'm real. Ha.
I might do it for the new guest room.
Should I?
Go check out their post here.
And a spray paint version here.

(maybe I can sweet talk St. John into staining it for me, we'll see...)



(A)Old brass OR (B)burnished bronze???

    Good luck, either way! I with ya, somethings I don't mind doing...others, I will gladly find someone to do it for me (painting walls is one of them).

    I think you could handle it. Or if you really want to DI-hire you could always find someone who pants furniture in your area and have them do it.

    You can do it, Shelli! I love this piece! I'd probably go with the burnished bronze for a shinier look.

    This is such a good idea! Thanks for sharing it!

    I really enjoy your blog, always fun, creative, and insightful. :)

    I'm a DIY girl too! I'd love to have you follow, I think you might like my stuff. (always awkward putting that out there) Either way, I'd love to get to know you more!
