Just look at that Ikea Malm dresser all sitting there all plain and white. You just wait, Ikea Malm dresser. You have no idea what’s about to happen to you. (Hint: it involves O’verlays!)

Told you so! We’re such big fans of furniture makeovers, especially when it’s more than just a coat of paint. This makeover, created by Amanda Carol, turned a blank canvas of a dresser into a super statement with Greek key shaped O’verlays that she painted gold. And even if you wouldn’t put gold Greek keys in a nursery, you have to give this woman credit for glamming up that Ikea Malm so hard it didn’t even know what hit it. She went big and bold, and we totally love it. Check out Amanda Carol at Home for more pictures and info about her project.
