- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- I am so excited to share this DIY Designer Dupe with you all. If you've been eyeing high end designer nightstands from places like Serena and Lily, Shoppe Amber Interiors, or McGee & Co. then you are in the right place because in this video I am taking a $130 dresser and upcycling it to look almost exactly like a $2000 nightstand. You will definitely get the "look for less" with this one and no one will be the wiser. Thank you so much for watching, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this project.

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I am a little confused why didn’t you buy the black brown dresser and paint that one black. Because if you nicked it black brown would show threw not white. You did a beautiful job and I do love it.
Wow looks so great! The trim just adds an extra layer of elegance. No one would think it’s ikea. Furniture prices are crazy these days!!!
Love this DIY! Looks just as elegant as the McGee & Co versions!
I totally agree! Thank you 😊
Love the way you talked through your decision-making process! I have to remove warning stickers off of all my Ikea items too haha One thing thats helped me is using a hairdryer to warm up the stickers. It melts the adhesive and comes right off!
Lovely! The addition of the trim made all the difference!
Beautiful room!
Yes! Thank you!
Finally an ikea hack that’s actually worth doing 🎉
Hello Elizabeth, Can I ask you a question?
Wow!! It looks great Megan. I love your version, and it's beautiful in the room. I can't believe the gorgeous light you get in your basement. Holy cow.
Beautiful accomplished goal ! Just a couple tips. if you are intending for the trim to be temporary than tacking with some brads is fine, but then painting everything first incase they become loose and show white cracks. Now, if this is permanent than you want to glue the trim. It will be the glue thats holds the trims in place for the long run, while the brads give extra support from jolts and bangs. Primer for everything, including walls, dark or rich colors ? go with a dark primer. Doing so will save you money by cutting out the cost of extra top coats. To give furniture a more upscale look, always follow through with the details to the sides of a unit like your added on moulding. That would look beautiful if you framed out the inside of the leg area including tops and bottoms. It's the cheaper designs from cheap manufacturers that cut out side details. Glad to see someone showing good outside the box thinking ❣
Beautiful, very elegant I love the color .....great job thank you 🇨🇦
Very nice. You make it look so easy, but I know it isn't! It's outrageous what furniture is costing these days, and it's not as if it's made from actual solid wood, either. Being on a very small budget, a few years ago I could furnish most of my living room for the cost of one of those 3-drawer night stand/dressers - nearly $2,000! Give me a break!
I’m hearing you. I wanted to buy some beautiful inlay bedside tables…$2500- each. Absolutely crazy. Especially when you have another 4 bedrooms to finish…..and they’re only made of mdf.
I remember when I first moved out on my own I found out that you could pick up payments where other people had left off at Rent-A-Center and Aaron’s And that they do 30 days same as cash. So I would pick up a bunch of extra jobs and try to pay the $600 off in a month. I did that with my dining room set and my sofa.
I hear you on the cost/quality. I saw some Pottery Barn bedroom furniture on FB marketplace and was surprised how badly the finish had held up - I know that furniture wasn’t cheap but needed work after just a few years. Crazy.
I have been searching for nightstand like McGee & Co and you nailed it!!
You nailed the look, and the piece is exactly the right size for that space! Brava on both counts! I'm green with envy over your basement workspace and tools...
Hello, Can I ask you a question?
Wow!! I cant believe how incredible these look!! Absolutely as nice as the expensive ones. Great job ❤
Thank you so much!!
We painted some campaign furniture black years ago and used a clear top coat to protect it which has really lasted and held up so well; however, we did not pain the inside of the furniture as the lighter original color makes it so much easier to find things inside the drawers, especially if we only have on a small bedside lamp. Just something to consider. Thanks for your video.
I’ve been looking for night stands as well and running into the same problem. This video is perfect timing
Glad I could help 🥰
Well done Megan, great to see you back on the "Tube" The nightstands look beautiful and if I was Mcgee and Co they should hire you.
You’re so sweet! Thank you 🤪
So impressed with your skills. Thanks for sharing ❤
Hello Maria,,, Can I ask you a question?
As always, you did a great job, Megan. ($2,000 for one night stand?! Simply reinforces why I never buy new!) Can’t wait to see your finished bedroom!❤
Thank you Carol!
The resulting look is simple yet elegant. Beautifully done.
Congratulations, you are what I wish I could be. I love carpentry and building things but don’t know where to start 🤷🏻♀️
Wow! Beautiful work! I have fallen in love with the same style of night stand as you and they range in the $1,500 to $2,500+ range. I was dumbfounded. How...if only Ikea sold a similar item with a pull-out tray. I have my heart set on a pull-out tray. :)
Oh yes, I agree. A pull out tray would be lovely!!
This turned out amazing. I can’t believe the price of the ones from McGee and Co! Love your bed too
Thanks so much!!
Attempting this with an IKEA Rast this week - even cheaper and a better size for my space. Gonna do one at a time in case I mess it up. Haha
So beautiful! It is the perfect look. I love the drawer knobs too. It’s so great when you can just use what’s there.
It really is!
I love watching your video's Megan loved the outcome and what a price difference!! They look very stylish.
Thanks so much 😊
Wow! I'm glad I saw this DIY video. You knocked that out of the park and I learned something today. Well done!
I've got the black brown in my cart so I can see the primer coverage better lol 🤣 I am using one inch half rounds to line the outer part of the drawer to give it a chunky headed look. I'm so excited to see someone else hacking the koppang!
Thanks for giving us the tools and courage to have beautiful furniture.
The night stands are so nice. That’s always nice is closed storage. I got two drawers but only two drawers. I wish had yours but they wouldn’t fit in my bedroom.
Saw your channel recommended. Opened your about page. Immediately subbed. This is the kind of thing I like to watch
This is the first time seeing your channel. This is exactly what I was looking for!!! I will be trying my very first diy project because of you.
Thanks so much! ❤
Such a terrific tutorial - looking forward to the primer comparison video!
I’m totally impressed and you’ve given me idea that I can actually do this too. Thank you.
Megan, you are amazing, a genius and so helpful with your tips and walking us-who don’t have experience-through. Thank you! Looks beautiful!
Wow! They came out so good,congratulations you did a great job and at a fraction of the cost.
Wow! These came out beautifully. I know the price of nightstands is unreal-I don’t know how ordinary people buy two.
Thank you! And same! The average person cannot spend that much money just on nightstands.
Wow this is exactly what we need in our master, the ones I looked at are just way to expensive ❤
Yay! Glad you found jt
Love, love this. I couldn't find anything within my budget for new nightstands. 2000.00 each or more... So you did really, really good and you just helped me budget tremendously. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Looks exactly like the McGee & Co. Great job. I’ve never been to an IKEA. For some reason they aren’t on every corner (outside of Philadelphia) and, I always say I need to go there because of all of the IKEA hack videos. Keep up the good work.
Yes you do! They also have great prices on kitchen items and curtains and other textiles. The furniture is honestly not very well made but perfect for anyone who wants to do a hack or is just on a budget. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi Megan! EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!💯! You are very talented! Keep up the great work! Best wishes always, Lori
You are so accomplished. Love your vision and ability to see it through.
Incredible job. Beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀
Gorgeous!! You have such a great eye for detail! And to be able to create whatever you invision is a talent! Great job👏👏
*Note: You can think your Primer with the Color you're going to use and it make Primer and 1st Coat coverage way easier.*
Hello Beth, Can I ask you a question?
Nicely done!
The nightstand looks outstanding. Good job!
Beautifully done, but as someone else said … you make it look so easy. 🥰
Looks good, I usually tint the primer with the paint color especially because when I use two different colors.
Yes, and this stuff is tintable up to two ounces so it would be a wise decision to do so.
Great job! Looks beautiful! Thanks for explaining everything so clearly 👍
Stunning! Great job! Looks so beautiful in the bedroom!
love them, I think I will do the same thing. I will have to take measurments to make sure they will fit. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Megan, have you ever done an IKEA hack for a cat tree? I would love to feature it.
Beautiful transformation.
OMG I don't even need a nightstand and I want to do this! It turned out absolutely beautiful!
That came out great! You've inspired me to try this. I cannot wait for spring to come so I can paint outside
Yes! If you can paint with that primer outside, I recommend it. It’s very toxic.
Terrific - great imagination and mad skills!
Perfect!
Hello Janet ,Can I ask you a question?
It looks amazing!!!!! Wow! Thanks for the great video lesson!
Gorgeous your work is so exceptional!! I am looking for nightstands now and the pricing is completely ridiculous for subpar materials. This is a great idea. I love the way they turned out!! Great job!!
Great job
You're a great teacher. Thank you!
Great Job!
Wow they came out so good! Love!
They turned out wonderful!!!! Great job! ❤❤❤
I’ve been looking for nightstands like this as well!! Love this idea. Great job! 💛
Great job on both the nightstand and the video! Well done.
These turned out stunning!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!! 😊
Great job as always Megan!! Great to see you back on You Tube.
Thank you!! 😊
Clever and beautiful!
Oh my how beautiful!
Great job! Looks awesome!
Thank you Terry!
This is exactly what I need!
This looks wonderful
Thank you for saying so!
I loveeeeee how these turned out!!
Love it! Really love it! Beautiful job.
Beautiful, I do have a question, I’m wondering why you chose to paint the white dresser black instead of buying the black option.. curious as I’d like to attempt this DIY.
Thank you!
I have the same question.
I was wondering the same thing!
The black version is not actually black. It’s “black brown” and to me it’s much more brown than I’d prefer. So I’d be painting it either way. I chose what was available at my local ikea.
Haha if I see that ‘live beautiful’ coffee table book one more time in a home decor video…….😂
Gorgeous!
It turned out 😍 🤩 . This is my first time watching your videos, but it won't be the last. Have you started the other using the other primer you mentioned?
Yes I have! Video for that should be up by the end of next week.
Beautiful job!
Absolutely stunning!!
Luv!!!’ I will b trying this hack for my guest rm
Thanks for sharing
Jeni
Hope you like it!
Wow that is stunning can’t wait to try this out!! 😍
How beautiful
Very nice
Nice!
Beautiful!
This came out bomb!
Hello! LOVE LOVE LOVE this nightstand!! Inspired me to recreate this myself! Question for you... What sheen did you use for your paint??
Oh thank you! On the nightstands? Satin.
Perfect, thank you! Did you run into the issue with your nightstand surface being a bit rough after painting? I'm using a 1/4" nap purdy roller (mirror finish) and my surface is coming out rough... Looking for ways to get that smooth finish, but if that's just the way the Ikea material is, then that's fine.
Holy crap this is amazing and I need them
Stunning thank you great idea
Impressive 👌🏻💯
Gorgeous!!
I just subscribed I really love your work! I took your leg inspo from the Tarva dresser and made my own MCM 5 drawer dresser video : )
awesome!!
Thanks!
That is beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
Love it! I’ve been looking for 2 nightstands for over a YEAR. What colour is on the walls in your bedroom?
White dove by Benjamin Moore
Was the black IKEA dresser not in stock? I would have thought buying the black one would have been easier
Amazing job.
