These stunning makeovers all share one thing: They started with IKEA.

1. Modern Vanity

If you’re looking for a chic alternative to your standard vanity, check out this super-glam IKEA creation from A New Bloom. She paired the EKBY ALEX shelving with old-school wooden legs and a sheepskin-covered bench to create a gorgeous place to spend your mornings.

2. Mid-Century Coffee Table

It’s rare you get something so classy from IKEA’s seen-everywhere LACK coffee table, but blogger Triple Max Ton's pulled it off. By removing the lower shelf and attaching wooden tapered legs, she created a mid-century classic that's entirely modern.

3. Play Kitchen

IKEA’s DUKTIG play kitchen is a godsend for parents with kitchen-oriented kids, but why not make it a little snazzier? Babykins did just that, adding subway tile, a metallic gold-painted faucet, mood lighting, and itty-bitty accessories to make the perfect grown-up kitchen for little ones.

4. Mid-Century Bar Cabinet

We’re in love with Brittany Make's beautiful bar cabinet, which uses brass knobs and faux bois gold foil wrapping paper to create a high-style (and easy to make!) addition to any living room.

5. Patterned Side Table

Dwell Beautiful transformed this quirky IKEA side table into a gold-patterned statement piece using only masking table and gold paint to make a fantastic addition to any hallway or living room.

6. TV Console

We’re obsessed with this amazing makeover from The Desi Wonder Woman, who took an ugly black console and made it light and airy, with offset gold legs. It’s an amazing makeover that proves how much difference a coat of white paint makes.
