![]() I chose the wood glue because of it’s strength, but I didn’t want it to set too fast so I would have time to position the pole wrap just right. I spread the glue almost to the edges with a dollar store paint brush. With the pole wrap cut to size, I used wood glue to attach it to the IKEA Kallax doors. Since I was working with the leftover pole wrap this time, my pieces were smaller and I did not have to make two passes. You can also use the pole wrap vertically but you will have more cuts.įull disclosure, this is 16 inches wide and our 12 inch miter saw doesn’t make cuts that wide so I had to flip it over and make a second pass to cut all the way through when I was cutting it for the Rast Hack. I used our miter saw with a fine finish blade to make the cross cuts and a utility knife to cut between the pieces of wood. You will need to cut the pole wrap to fit the size of the Kallax cubby doors. You know I love thinking outside the box so it should be no surprise that I am now addicted to this mid century fluted wood! I used the remaining pole wrap I had and positioned it horizontally again. When I shared this last time I received tons of questions about it! Pole wrap is exactly what it sounds like. If this looks familiar, that’s because I used it a few few weeks ago on my IKEA Rast hack as well. ![]() I measured, marked, and predrilled the holes for these. They are affordable, easy to install, and add a lot of style to an otherwise bland piece of furniture. These are my go to legs that I used for my dining room benches and the console table in the family room. I wanted a more custom furniture look and I needed this to be a specific height, so I added some hairpin legs. Based on the space I was filing, I turned it on its side and used it horizontally. This piece can be used vertically or horizontally. I know many people enjoy this step the least, but the Kallax was one of the easiest IKEA builds I have ever done. I chose to use the four cubby version, but you could use the others as well if you need more storage. With all the supply shortages the Denver inventory has definitely been hit or miss. Either way, I highly recommend checking the stock levels before you go and if your store offers it, buy online and just go pick it up. Between this and Barry’s closet, we have arguably been to IKEA too many times. Just don’t ask Barry how many times he has been to IKEA in the last month, haha! Luckily my good Swedish friend came to the rescue yet again. Even though you all voted I should build something from scratch on Instagram, I just didn’t have that in me. So I went in search of something with a slimmer footprint. It was too tall next to the bunk beds and too deep. I originally planned to hack an IKEA dresser I had on hand, however, when I moved it into the room, it just felt too big. Let me give you a little background on this weeks project. For more information, please see my policies. While this IKEA hack was not my original plan, I think it works even better. Seems to be a common theme here, huh? Regardless, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! If you have missed any of the progress so far, check out week one, week two, week three, week four, and week five first. If you saw my Insta stories, you know this was a bit of a detour for me. This week I tackled the dresser situation or lack there of and decided to go with this IKEA Kallax Hack. Week 7 of the One Room Challenge is here and we are dangerously close to the finish line.
