Interior Shutters

IKEA Rast Hack Media Friendly Nightstand | inbetweenchaos.com

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you my first IKEA Rast hack, which also just happened to be my first project!  I used 4 Rasts to create one long media console.  It was a success, and I loved the storage it provided.  I’m the type who needs storage behind doors or in drawers so…

DIY Fireplace Surround

December 1, 2016 · Leave a Comment
