Steampunking Ikea Cabinets


Speaking of modding Ikea cabinets, here's a set of Ivar cabinet doors that Rafael Fabre modded for his office.


The "raw" Ikea "Ivar" doors - unsanded, unstained, and uncoated

Ikea "Ivar" doors that are sanded (twice), stained (twice), coated (twice), projected placement of wood designes (blue/black base [salvaged from another project], and highlighted with a copper paint pen]). Also, the two squares above and below the "center square" on the door are actually from earrings from a 2nd hand store going out of business (50 cents per pair of earrings!)

The wood grain really comes through nicely.

Sorry for the late response, Miss Rachel, but I do hope to be done with this particular project in the near future - always the nagging details (80/20 rule, I believe)! But, ty, madam!

the wood finish in a house is like art work, in my case I like to put some Generic Viagra wood in my house, but this type of works are a little bit expensive.
