Take the Rast dresser, which is about as plain as they come. Unfinished wood, boring drawers, square sides and dull knobs. Not much to look at.<\/p>\n<p>But this week&#8217;s Ikea hack uses the homely Rast dresser and transforms it into a sexy black and gold nightstand, thanks to the genius of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marcusdesigninc.com\/2011\/02\/my-ikea-diy-dorothy-draper-style.html\">Marcus Design<\/a>.

Paint the drawer parts as well. Attach the stencil securely to the front of the drawer and paint it with the gold acrylic paint. It might need a few coats in order to look perfect. When the drawers are completely dry (probably the next day), attach your new drawer pulls and assemble the drawers before putting them into the assembled nightstand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some truly ugly items at Ikea.
