There\u2019s something about the lakehouse style that\u2019s so relaxing and peaceful, and makes people want to drink margaritas.<\/p>\n<p>Complete your living room with this Ikea hack that\u2019ll earn you a gorgeous, simple beachside coffee table. It\u2019s a major improvement on the as-is Ikea Hemnes coffee table.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The parts.

With the wood planks cut to size, line them up along the top of the coffee table and secure them in place with screws. Use the mitred trim around the edge of the table top (measure the dimensions you\u2019ll need based on the size of your planks) and secure it with the finishing screws.<\/p>\n<p>Mix your whitewash and paint the entire tabletop and trim. You might need two coats to get the right finish. Complete your coffee table with a layer or two of the lacquer or furniture wax.
