Markor work well to sand down and start over, but highly recommend you disassemble. And one thing I can recommend for the back if you want to go natural is to go to measure the back for what you need for size. Go to HomeDepot and buy a nice 1/8 inch natural wood ply.

I like to wear latex gloves when staining to protect my hands. The good thing is IKEA will update their website and can give you estimates on when they expect the item to be back in stock. At the time of this post, all Tarva dressers were out of stock but the 6 drawer chest was expected to be in stock within 2 weeks in their St. Louis store. So if you are on a deadline, this may not be a great option as it can be difficult to get quickly.

Though it does require a bit of patience, this project is relatively simple and very affordable. Some prefer to disassemble the item and then sand each piece. I would probably go with that to make sure the orbital sander does a thorough job.

Of course your home should be a safe place for the entire family. That’s why hardware is included so that you can attach the chest of drawers to the wall. This Malm dresser was transformed by simply creating a frame to add the dresser legs. As a result, this dresser went from modern and monochromatic to transitional and two-toned.

If you have limited space, you’ll need to decide what is important to you and the functionality of your nursery. When I’m looking for nursery furniture and a new piece for my kids’ rooms, I love to look at IKEA. Gone are the days where you have to have an IKEA store in your town to purchase their furniture. Now, you are able to look online and order your IKEA items just like you would any other store. From handmade pieces to vintage treasures ready to be loved again, Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods.

I don’t know how many times I wish I could have a little backing to my dresser while I change Goldie. When they get to be toddlers, they like to fling themselves from the top and that little ledge that the Hauga line offers would be such a good perimeter piece. IKEA has several storage spaces that can fit any need.

To play up that rustic, high-contrast wood grain, the HEMNES’ drawers were sanded, then blasted with a blowtorch. Another sanding and hardware swap later, and the dresser was ready to go. If you’re in love with the country-style look, HEMNES series is a perfect match. Yes it’s possible to take the solid wood HEMNES bookcase from lacquered to natural.
