There are so many good IKEA Rast hacks out there that it can be hard to finally choose one. I’ve spent five years with a plain, unpainted set as a pair of bedside tables because I just couldn’t make up my mind about what to do with them. Should I age them? Add campaign hardware? Paint them to look like Transformers (my husband’s suggestion)? I never did make up my mind.

But now that I’ve seen the nailhead makeover that Renee from The Abundant Abode came up with, I might have finally found a frontrunner. Her Rast got a seriously glam upgrade with a paint job, some sparkly drawer pulls, and a few yards of nailhead trim. And she added a marble top to make things even fancier.
