The Ultimate IKEA Hack: O’verlays Fretwork

Cool new product for your next D.I.Y. project!

Yesterday, Heather over at Love Your Space featured O’verlays fretwork panels created by Danika of Gorgeous Shiny Things and Cheryl of The Whole Nine Yards, and I for one think they are the coolest ever! Can’t believe some of these before and afters, and the fact that the panels are compatible with several IKEA pieces. Talk about the ultimate budget-friendly transformation.

The beginnings…a sunroom redo:

and an IKEA PAX transformation:

…to the resulting product idea:

O'verlays: blue & gold RAST

O'verlays: coffee table

O'verlays: pink & orange RAST

O'verlays: screen

I think this one is may favorite, as I’ve always wanted to recreate the partition

    I love the screen idea too. I’ve been thinking I’d love to bedazzle some of my plain doors. I’d have to find a non-permanent way, though, seeing as it’s a rental :(

    I saw this yesterday on Danika’s blog and nearly drafted my own blog post right then and there! But then I got swamped and now I’m glad I left the job up to you! Your posts are always so well-rounded!
