Thanks so much for your comments yesterday.
You guys are too sweet 🙂
Now let’s get back to design…
Ever since I saw this Ikea Rast hack, I can’t get it out of my head.
I know we have all seen a million Rast hacks, but these red Dorothy Draper inspired side tables speak to me.
I think I might have to re-visit my Ikea Rast Hacks.
I love them but I wouldn’t mind a change.

Are you loving these too?
I think she did such an amazing job!
Are you convinced yet?
If not, Lisa from Trapped in North Jersey just completed these beauties for her bedroom.
The blue and gold combo is to die for.

Well actually her whole bedroom is.
You rock Lisa.
I can’t wait to get started!
This chest is insanely beautiful! Dorothy Draper would be proud.
Ooh, I’ve never seen this hack! It looks just like mine. If you’re going to do it, maybe try the newest O’verlays… it will save you sooo much time painting/taping the gold parts. See them here… makes me want to put colorful “Draper” chests in every room!

I’m not usually a red fan but these are fantastic! Loved your personal post yesterday. She seems like a special little girl:)
Love the dresser. It looks very chic. Adore the pretty pillows on the sofa, too!

Yes, those are amazing! I can’t believe the before and after shots, truly inspiring.
Gorgeous (love the pillows too)! I so wish we had an Ikea in Halifax 🙁
I have been loving this hack too. Did you see that O’verlays now has a piece that you can use to make these?!?! Your story about your daughter brought tears to my eyes. She is so sweet and adorable. I can’t even imagine how terrifying those first months must have been. Hope you have a great weekend!
Wow…these are FABULOUS!!!!
I’m a follower of hers and I think they are the best rast hacks I’ve ever seen! I’m going to do some in my place, but probably stick to traditional black for the certain decor I have in mind 🙂

Love these! I see a Rast hack in my future too! I love the way yours look now, but am so excited to see you revamp them!
Amazing! I would never have known they were IKEA. Love the pop of red.
I JUST put these in my bedroom yesterday, in turquoise. And it was her red ones that inspired me! Great minds think alike 🙂
aw, thanks for the mention–I’m glad you like them 🙂
Love it…I wish I had more time to experiment:)
The rast rocks! I wanted to use them in our bedroom but they were just too small. Oh well, I’ll just drool over these other ones 🙂
love the blue and gold! amazing creations!
I’m sooo excited that people liked my idea of changing the rast into a Dorothy Draper chest!! I did mine in the original black but now I want a pair in every color!!! People who have tried my hack have been sending their pictures to me, but I have never seen the turquoise yet! Love!

I love both rooms! This makes me really wish our house would sell so I could get on with my new look. Carrie
Fabulous colours!
Hi Danielle, I have been reading your blog for a while and I love it! I recently fell in love with your blue desk and it gave me the inpiration I needed to finally finish my project. I just posted about it and I linked your desk and your blog post to my blog post. I hope that was ok! Have a great week!! :O) Stop by and check it out! I am addicted to that paint now, lol. I just bought a small can of yellow and white! http://mrskbj.blogspot.com/2011/11/finally-it-is-done-drum-roll-please.html
These are fantastic. Wow. So impressed.
I love the first one especially, and the hardware on both! Great little dressers!
I love! the pillows! i found these exact fabrics on the DecoratorsBest site
