The DIY Cupboard Fix: a little lunchtime (ikea) hack

Can you guess the quick and totally necessary hack I did during lunch?

Give up?

That’s what the cupboard used to look like. For whatever reason, when we built the kitchen we managed to lose a cupboard door.

I made a curtain, hung it up on a piece of bamboo & erm…it stayed that way for over a yearwhat? Luckily lightening (finally) struck during our latest visit to Ikea’s As-Is section & I grabbed a Kullavik door that I thought just might fit for €5.

+ a couple of hinges

A quick trim off the top to fit just right

& a lonely knob salvaged from the bottom of the tool box, painted with a sunflower to make it pretty & varnished it to make it shiny.

I’m pretty proud of my cute little knob.

put it all together & it looked surprisingly great!

the wood colours matched excellently!

and there you have it, a fancy new, fully functional cupboard with artsyfartsyoneofakind knob for €5!
