Turn your child’s play table into their very own personal space using this awesome Ikea hack. After staining the Latt children’s table and chairs in a lovely shade of gray prior to piecing the items together, the blogger added a cute fabric to the chairs. She then painted the table’s surface with chalkboard paint and fitted a piece of Plexiglas to the surface, making it safe for eating and easily removable for play.

The Forhoja kitchen cart creates not only a lot of space in your kitchen, but extra storage as well. Turn yours into a sunny place for storing wine by taking on this awesome hack from The Hunted Interior. The blogger painted it a pretty yellow as well as cut down, stained and glued wine crates to the pre-existing drawers. By adding a stern piece of hardware, the hack looks like it’s worth much more than the original $100 price tag.
