$1 IKEA LACK table refresh

I've had a black IKEA LACK side table sitting in a closet forever, and I finally dug it out this weekend to give it a quick refresh. 

IKEA LACK table hack

I painted the top in semi-gloss white and wrapped the legs in wood grain contact paper from the dollar store. I think it gives it a modern look and fits well in my office holding a vintage card catalogue drawer I picked up recently.  I also picked up a vintage wool spindle and some great mason jars at a garage sale, which hold craft stuff. 






I did this in an hour and for $1. You can't beat that for a cheap and sustainable way to refresh a piece of furniture! Have a great week everyone.

  1. That's a great way to dress up a LACK table :-) I've got one still in the package with the plan to do something creative with it - just haven't decided what yet. And I have to get started on a RAST hack soon - still trying to come up with a plan for that one too, although I know I'll be using O'Verlays.

    Hope you're enjoying the long weekend :-)
