IKEA HEMNES VANITY UNIT HACK

Morning everyone! Originally I wanted to use a beautiful piece of timber from the Little Wild woodland to make this vanity unit, but with all the flooding this year it was just too wet. Not to mention, I now realise the wood has to dry out for two years first. So of course I hacked an IKEA Hemnes unit instead!

Ad/gifted - Then thewaywelive_london gave us this BEAUTIFUL handmade ceramic basin, which is crackle glazed in the perfect soft bluey sage green. 

What do you think? 

Press SAVE to keep the list below of what I did to it and where everything’s from, but let me know in the comments if you’d also like me to make a demo reel of the various finishes. 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

HOW IT’S MADE

I painted the top with polyvine_uk’s metallic copper paint. 

The base is painted in mylands_london’s Museum in Silk and then cracked with polyvine_uk’s 2 Step Craquelure system. 

The handles are tarnished copper pull handles from 
dowsingandreynolds 

We then cut a hole in the top and a curve in the back support of the drawer for the basin’s waste pipe. 

The copper taps are from Taps UK

The radiator is the True Copper duel fuel towel rail from terma_radiators_uk 

The towels are from the williammorriscollection 

Ad-gifted - The beautiful wallpaper is the Tropical Bellewood mural from rebelwalls
