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.
