Peppa Pig: The Toy Cupboard

Product Information

Slimline picture ledges sit close to the wall, but are just wide enough to hold glassware and bottles. Next, lightly tape your stencil onto the drawer fronts using washi tape, then stipple on furniture paint using a dry, coarse-haired paintbrush. Instead, he purchased five BILLY bookcases that fit the exact dimensions of the wall and got to work creating his dream bookshelf, all with minimal tools. There are 1000's of hacks from all over the world, so you'll always find something to inspire a new project or upcycle. Fix a couple of Bekvam spice shelves on the wall to hold bottles and tubes, fixing the bottom one upside down to create a hanging rail.

By taking inspiration from upcycling furniture ideas, you can create a stylish spot almost anywhere in your home, from your wardrobes to your TV cabinet. We bought the matching doors for the standard-size bookcase, hardboard for cutting the arches, and then some MDF sheets for the edges of the bookcase to give the impression they were flush to the wall,' Paul says. A lick of paint, a change of knobs, or a covering in wallpaper are all inexpensive ways to give your Ikea furniture a new look. IKEA hacks are when you take a piece of IKEA furniture and adapt it, update it or re-work it to become more useful, beautiful and unique. Once dry, space each along the wall – mark vertical lines just the width of each seat from just below the top step.

Carefully remove the table's glass top, and spray the frame with Plastic-Kote metallic paint, making sure you pick a well-ventilated spot that's protected with newspaper. When you’ve gathered a neat collection of toys not used anymore, you can pass them on to someone who’ll enjoy them.

Turning the shelves upside down will double storage space: screw hooks and eyes into the front and back edges for hanging necklaces and earrings, leaving the flat top surfaces free for make-up and accessories. Place a sturdy KALLAX shelf unit on its side to create a bespoke storage bench with cubbies to sit at the end of a bed. To enable the Toy Cupboard to continue to function it is important that members participate in the continuing success by attending Annual General Meeting and joining/supporting the Committee. You also get the pride of saying you've done it yourself, which is a huge bragging right when showing guests around your house. This then frees up a side panel on which to mount a cut-to-fit vinyl chalkboard sticker – making it even more versatile and useful.The cupboard arrives in the post but it needs to be assembled – and Mummy and Daddy Pig are not very good at DIY. While cane is hugely on-trend at the moment, you could achieve a similar look with a woven linen or soft slub cotton to add texture. The team at IKEA have shown us how the picture ledges can be staggered on one wall to create a playground for feline friends. Then using a chosen string or even a colourful flex, securely intertwine around each one to create a fence-like effect.

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig come into their room and ask why do both Peppa’s and George’s beds have toys on them. Paint the drawer fronts with leftover emulsion or tester pots, in an ombre formation, starting with the lightest shade at the top, with the darkest at the bottom. It's easy to adapt or add to your combination, as your kids, and their toy collections, grow and change.

Make your drinks station a focal point by painting the wall area behind in a standout colour or go one better and opt for chalkboard paint so you can chalk up your favourite tipples. If you want the storage to play well with a calm interior, we recommend you go for cool colours like white or grey. When affixing to the wall turn the ledges facing inwards, so the lip of the design is not visible from a side view.

If you have skirting boards, add legs to the unit so that the wallpaper starts at the same level as the shelving. If you’re on a budget and focusing on updates only, Chalk Paint™ works just as well on plastic and MDF and brings a lovely matte finish toIkeafurniture,' echoes colour and paint expert, Annie Sloan.Instead of placing shelf units against a wall, face them towards each other to create a special reading nook.
