DIY Inspiration: ikea RAST nightstand

Okay okay i know these have been floating around forever, but it's decided! This is exactly what we need to replace Chris' nightstand with. And we did decide to do table lamps. I'm just going to have to have a smaller table for now until we have a bigger bedroom (it's only short by 2 inches!!) and i'm telling you right now, i''m never downsizing to a queen bed not ever so that's not even an option! I got this inspiration first from Marissa at ROOST...she is so talented and i love what she did with this ikea RAST $34.99 dresser....

Even though the color that it is made in is so appealing (NOT), i really love what she did with hers...

I just love it! And my love for gold isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so i'm pretty excited! Danielle Oakey from Danielle Oakey Interiors just finished hers as well and i'm just as in love with hers...

So i've decided that the white with gold is definitely what i'm going with, and that i'm going to do a playoff of the design that Marissa used....both gorgeous and both i'm very envious of! Good job ladies! Thank you for continuing to inspire me daily!

The hardware came from here and is perfect and more than affordable too! Thank you again!
