(Before) Faux metal finish IKEA Rast hack - by Reinvented

Kimm wanted to make this plain little IKEA Rast dresser look like an “old galvanized bucket.”  She layered different metallic paints to achieve the perfect faux metal finish and then stained the sides.  She calls the look “Swedish modern style meets farmhouse chic.”  Visit Reinvented to learn more about this inspiring IKEA hack.
