IKEA Wardrobe Update

Sharing is caring!

It’s Power Tool Time again!!!  This month’s theme is one of my favorites… modifying something with power tools!  I love taking something basic and making it fantastic,, like this basic IKEA Wardrobe that I updated.  Paint, molding and a few other supplies turned this wardrobe into a Pottery Barn inspired makeover.

IKEA Wardrobe Update

My daughter needed more storage in her room.  This basic IKEA wardrobe was a cheap solution, but was very boring.  I adore the Pottery Barn wardrobes in the Pottery Barn Kids catalogs, but the price is too steep for my budget – so I gave this wardrobe a makeover.  (affiliate links included for your convenience, more info here)

Supplies needed for IKEA Wardrobe Makeover:

• white paint
• door mirror
• roll of cork
• molding
• miter saw and box
• liquid nails
• caulking

I started by painting the wardrobe with some crisp, white paint.  It took 2 coats to give it the look I wanted.

Then I attached the door mirror using liquid nails.

The mirror already had trim around it so I left it alone.

Then I decided on the size of cork I wanted to place on the left side.  I trimmed it down and used liquid nails to adhere the cork onto the wardrobe door.

Then I measured and cut down the molding to fit around the cork.  I’ll want to use a miter saw or a miter box to get those angled cuts.

Such a BIG difference!  She had fun decorating her cork board.

Now here’s some other amazing Power Tool projects from the team!
