This bedroom update was done using the IKEA Tarva 3-drawer chest, and cutting it down to 2 drawers to make nightstands. Skill Level: Intermediate Materials:
Tools:
Tips and Tricks: Cut and glue moulding to drawer fronts, be sure to wipe away access glue. Adjusting from 3 drawers to 2: add middle drawer rails to sides and assemble sides and back, but do not fully screw into place. Fully assemble one drawer to use as a guide and place in middle. Measure sides just above drawer. Take sides apart and cut down. I found the IKEA furniture really soaks up the stain, so pick a shade lighter than you are looking for. Use the white wax and buff into the wood. Buff until smooth and not tacky. Here is a compare between stain without wax (top) and with wax (bottom).
