I'm back with another IKEA hack | DIY Kallax storage bench

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi friends! Rach here, and I’m back with another episode of Project Profit! This is the series where I finds free or low cost second hand items with the goal of trying to flip them for some cash. All profits made from the series are donated to various charitable causes!
Super excited to show you all this simple and elevated IKEA hack. Today we are turning a basic (but beloved) IKEA KALLAX unit, into a stunning blue storage bench with arched fronts!
We are happy to announce (based on your amazing suggestions) the remaining profits of just over $1000 will be going to go to Days for Girls. This is an organization that works to eliminate the stigma and limitations associated with menstruation by providing access to adequate supplies and education so that women and girls have improved health and livelihoods.

I think I voted for the orange color in ig but now I think it would've been too dark. personally I would've painted it a warm yellow if I was making it, but this blue is the best one from the colors you were choosing from!

    I’m glad to see you back! We missed you. I like the piece a lot, I think it’s a super cool way to use a kallax unit and I haven’t seen someone turn it in it’s side like this. One change I would make (just cause I love tall arches) is putting four legs and having them be where the side of the arches come down so it looks like the arches are part of the structural design of the piece. Such a cool idea, I hope I find a kallax unit to do this to

    Very nice bench. I think I like the rust color better. :) Just because you have the glue in your storage room does not mean it is free. You should always calculate or tack on 1.00 at least. One day you will have to buy more glue and the good stuff is expensive. I was told that as a professional artist, a portion of the cost of art is the tools. A few cents/dollars here and there for brushes, as they do wear out, a portion for palette use, a portion for paint used, etc. You put that cost money in a jar for restocking your supplies. NOW.. this works the other way too... if you buy a pail of paint but don't use all of it on a project... you don't charge the full cost to the project. Fair is fair. I know a lot of people would say this is too much work or too nit picky with pennies.. fair enough, but you don't have to measure the glue in the entire bottle, use some, then measure again, figure out the amount you used, figure out the tax, etc. Use guestimate sense. :) As this was for charity, it is great that you did not charge for all those things. :)

    Make the lid a front door! As a person who lives with several handy dandy storage benches, they're actually not that handy when you have to take all the plants and pillows off every time you need to access the storage. If you're doing this DIY, simply flip the design so that the cubbies face out and the door flips down. Storage and display forever in harmony.
