Ikea Farmhouse Nightstand Makeover

Vintage High Chair in Natural Wood and Warm White

I love giving old pieces new life. This vintage wooden high chair was my latest makeover project. I am loving the end look, how about you? This solid wood cutie was found by my furniture scouting sister. I messaged the seller sight unseen I would take it. My Mom picked it up and delivered to my door. THANKS family for all your help!

Who doesn't love a good IKEA hack?

This solid pine Hemnes nightstand set were sourced for a customer to add to her farmhouse white collection. See other pieces she has purchased or had painted for her home: this sofa table, this old family desk, a sentimental family secretary desk, and this sweet little accent table.

Usual first step is to remove doors, drawers and hardware then clean well however the drawers were not wanting to pull out. Thanks to YouTube I found the answer after quite a time searching so thought I would share a quick video "How to remove IKEA Hemnes drawers"

Then all surfaces were scrubbed well.

We went with Fusion Mineral Paint's lamp white like the secretary desk. Two coats were applied.

Then distressed, right shows distressing and left is two coats.

Once I had the drawers out, I removed the back to slide out the drawer bottom. As in many used drawers there was some wear and tear. I added marble look contact paper to fit perfectly over the drawer bottom,
