Andrea,
Thanks so much for sharing this! I had no idea that you could even buy legs like that at IKEA! You always inspire me!
And hopefully spring is right around the corner for all of us! I was trying to figure out a way to grow my own moss…..but so far…no luck!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

I am looking to “hack” my Hemnes nightstands…..what did you use to paint over the laminated wood? Any special paint? How did you prep the surface? Thank you
Andrea says
Hi there how are you. Sherwin Williams has an excellent primer…it is expensive…but it will allow you to then paint any color you would like over it…it’s the perfect primer to use on laminate …sure hope that helps. I was featuring other bloggers in this collection so I did not do the piece myself…but I can help : ) try their primer and the rest should go very well for you. Take care and have an amazing day!
