Mackapar hack ikea

We needed longer legs on the Ikea Mackapar so we built and added some!

I’m baaaaack!! But still not unpacked. Ack. It’s ok though because we’ve done a hack and hung a rack. So hopefully you’ll give me a little slack. Ok, ok, I’ll stop before you feel like you wanna whack me. ;) The girls and I have been doing rhyming in homeschool… Ahem… We have a situation. Our back door is our most used door and therefore, where we keep all of our most-used shoes…haphazardly (usually) set on this little shelf (previously a bookshelf in Sebastian’s old room). It looked a mess…

I turned these 2 Ikea Mackapär Shoe benchs without the legs into a sleek TV cabinet. I will be distressing and staining a peice of wood for the top. But for now I'm loving the look. Best of all, you can sit on it.

See how we transformed an IKEA BESTA unit into a minimalist floating console for less than $250 using hardware store basics, including an off-the-rack tabletop. It's a cinch to customize, no matter which way your style leans.
