{ikea rast hack round-up}

I love a good Ikea Rast hack, taking this humble plain Jane {no offence to Jane} dresser to a one-of-a-kind piece.

It is so inexpensive, made from solid wood, has clean lines and a flat front that lends itself to being hacked and re-created into something beautiful.

Since I tackled one recently and my blogging friend Nancy from Marcus Design just revealed her creation, I felt it was fitting to share with you the many ways a Rast can be hacked!

Here is my hack using black paint, silver leaf and crystal knobs

And Nancy's amazing Rast hack made to look like a Dorothy Draper dresser:

Another fantastic Rast hack is from the lovely Lindsay at Aubrey and Linsday's blog. 

You can check out my interview with her in my "So Canadian, eh?" series.

Using crisp white paint and simply gold knobs, Lakeitha makes over a Rast for her bedroom

at Home to Three Duncan Boys

And this one I found on design*sponge made by Eric from DMD

Has anyone else hacked a Rast? I would love to see it to add to the round-up!
