Ikea is a great place to find affordable and stylish furniture. They have a lot of variety and even great food to add to the experience! Here are some of my favorite recent finds with a little twist:
This sideboard would look great in a dining room or as a t.v. console. Very sleek, modern and a steal at $249!
I plan on finishing this piece in a shiny lacquer clear finish. It will give it the expensive look with about 1/3 of the price tag. Depending on the finish you buy, you should be able to just overlay the lacquer without sanding (which you wouldn't want to do on particleboard).
They even make lacquer spray-paint these days! Try this:
Rust-Oleum Specialty Lacquer Gloss Clear
This dresser looks pretty plain jane how it is... but by simply switching out the hardware you can totally change the look of any piece. It is only $300 and once you add some awesome hardware it will look like its worth triple that.
Crystal hardware is a great way to get an expensive and vintage look. Knobs like these retail for about $6-8 and can be bought at your local hardware store or online. There are a million options and colors!
