Shifting into a new home brought lots of shopping for new furniture pieces. However, this did not mean we could throw out every piece of old furniture we owned. Hence, I decided to transform the two IKEA Lack tables we owned without breaking the bank.
IKEA furniture is just so cheap and functional, but also a little boring at times.
I figured we could just use recycled pallet wood and glue it right on top. I wanted to go for a rustic, reclaimed look to match the rest of the furniture in the house, and I’m really happy with the way this turned out.
