Boho Wood Hemnes Drawer Hack

Another of my favorites from the year! This beautiful boho style dresser was created out of an IKEA Hemnes dresser unit. This hack cleverly uses pine lattice moulding and grout, as well as new hardware too. It is quite a remarkable update of an already useful dresser. You can see the hack here.

Another cane hack makes this beautiful cane cabinet. This would be a stand-out piece in your home and would fit well into any room. You can see the hack here.
