If you guys has been browsing on Ikea Hacks or Pinterest, those people are amazing! They could transform many ikea furnitures to many purposes!

I have this old (really old) Kullen 5 chest drawer from ikea which was in brown-black color which i totally wanna change the color.

Went to that paint shop in Geylang again, and that lady was like telling us no paint/primer can adhere to furniture in laminates finish unless we would consider to sand it down. She actually suggested us to get wallpaper sticker to paste over it instead. To sand it down, is too much work :rolleyes: ! Well, not giving up, back to my research on pinterest, majority uses this primer brand called "Zinsser". I googled and found there is a distributor in Singapore!

We painted about 2 coats of the primer & 2 coats of the oil based white paint with a paint brush as rollers won't work.

Stick some accessories that i bought from Taobao.

And viola!

I like it :wub: ! Except for the 3rd row if you notice is done up by hubby which obviously shows that i have more patience :bleah: . Hehe! Initially we used a kind of glue from Daiso which is useless, and it drop 1 piece in every other day. Went to spotlight again, and bought polyurethane glue which states "super strong". Actually, the right way is to stick and clamp it for few hours. We didn't have a clamp to work with, so i used pegs & scotch tape (LOL). Kinda worried that the scotch tape would cause the paint to peel, but luckily it didn't! =))) :thumbs up:

I am also intending to opt for french (Black/white) for my upcoming place. :wub:

My budget is also small hence have a feeling I will do the basics and probably furnish from there.

Could you share Edmund's quote and his details via PM ? :yamseng:
