Here’s a new IKEA hack from Mybellabug blog, and today we are going to renovate an IKEA Tarva dresser. The supplies are Tarva 3-drawer chest, knobs, a pine top, overlays, paint, spray paint, stain. So first step is to take care of the knots in the wood: apply two lights coats of primer to everything with a light sanding (320-grit) between coats. Let that dry overnight and then apply three coats of the paint of your choice. Also do a light sanding in between each coat of paint. You may also change the knobs for some more original ones like in this tutorial, or leave them. Keep reading the tutorial in the source.
