Hi, guys! Sorry for the absence the past few days! I was battling an eye infection and am getting ready for my little sister's beauty school graduation party this coming weekend! But I do have a few new projects to share with you, one of them being this super-simple Ikea hack.
Last time I was at Ikea, I picked up one of these SOCKER Greenhouses:
Not a bad size for $19.99, and I love white, but once I set it up in the kitchen it just felt a little... rustic? Shabby chic? Which is perfect for my mom's house (we actually both love shabby chic), but in the current direction our home is taking, it needed a little glam.
Nothing a $3.00 can of gold spray paint can't fix. I used Rustoleum Bright Metallic (the absolute best gold spray paint out there).
The after:
Much more dramatic and expensive-looking.
This project does require a little patience as far as taking out all of the plexi-glass and getting paint into every nook and cranny, but such a simple thing can have such a big impact!
Xoxo,
Natasha
was taking out the glass difficult? any tips?
ReplyDeleteHow do you take out the glass???
ReplyDelete^^ I was wondering the same thing
ReplyDeleteC est simple. Il suffit de tordre les petites pattes pour faire sortir la vitre.
ReplyDeleteI found when I put it back together it scratched some of the paint off and I let it dry for days before I done it
ReplyDeleteHow did you take the glass out?
Deleteit’s not glass it slides out
Deletewhat about the big pieces I can't get those to slide out like the small sides did.
DeleteShould I have sanded it back a bit first
ReplyDeleteWhat did you do to prep the metal first? We're finding the paint is not adhering everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI used some sort of spray it’s meant to stop you from having to sand it
Deletehow do you get large triangular topped pieces of plexiglass out? Could you provide an answer. Appears same question asked but no answer
ReplyDeleteI just purchased this greenhouse and we found that the small tabs can be easily bent flat so the glass easily comes out.
