With a blank wall and no storage, Jane decided her living room needed a long credenza on a budget. Perennial favorite, IKEA’s BESTA, to the rescue.

From Jane:

I have a small downstairs that literally has no storage. So after the hardwood flooring was installed, I was itching to finally upgrade the old wine and coffee bar with a floating credenza.


For $290 of IKEA material cost, 6 hours of labor, and some problem solving, we’ve installed a 5 unit IKEA Besta cabinet that doubles as a wine and coffee bar!

See step-by-step instructions over on A Taste of Koko.

Thank you Jane!
