Liatorp refreshment

Supplies: Liatorp Skjenk

Description: We purchased a utilised sideboard online, truly an IKEA furniture named Liatorp Skjenk.

The sideboard was great, but we necessary a sideboard for the bedroom, and the original one particular wasn’t genuinely fitting in. So I decided to do one thing about it. I had some good wallpaper lying close to from the last dresser i refurbished, and even though perhaps I could dress the doors with it, the question was how.

You want:

• Liatorp Sideboard
• Oil-based mostly primer
• Small paint roller
• Wall-paper
• Wall-paper glue
• Paint brush
• Wall-paper knife
• Glue (hobby, wood)
• Hammer
• three x nice handles (from interior shop)
• two x Byholma basket white
• four x Byholma basket gray

The very first challenge was to figure out if it really was feasible to put wall-paper on glass, so even though at Bauhaus I asked them. Thy did not truly want to answer me, given that they did not know if it would operate, but they finally explained that it could work if I primed the glass with an oil-based primer. So that’s what I did.

When we picked up the sideboard, 1 of the doors fell apart, and I thought, fantastic, it will make it a lot less complicated to paint and wallpaper the glass with out the door-frame. The other door was about as straightforward to disassemble.

The first I did was to cut out the wall-paper I desired to use. I did this by putting the glass on leading of the wall-paper and cutting the edges with a wall-paper knife. Its important that the pattern are the same on both doors (that the pattern start and ends the very same place).

Spot the cut out wall-paper a protected spot whilst you paint

Use the modest paint roller and roll primer all over a single page of each and every glass.

When the primer has dried (study on the box), put on wall-paper glue with a paint-brush all above the glass. Place on the wallpaper and squeeze out all the air bubbles. Take away any glue that squeezes out on the sides and let it dry above night.

Disassemble the frame totally and fill the broad component with the hinges with hobby glue, place a small additional exactly where the tree plugs are going in. Assemble a single of the quick parts, fill it with hobby glue and assemble the glass. The long part can be fairly tight, so be careful that the wall-paper do not curl upward, but slide in the crack with the glass. The quick part is more roomy.

Assemble the final short side (filled with glue), and last the final long side (filled with glue). You may require to bang it a little, but be cautious that the wall-paper follows into the crack.

When you assemble door quantity two, make certain the wall-papers are mirrored. Check out this one excess time, it really sucks if you get it incorrect )

Let the closets dry for a number of hours, and mount them on the sideboard. Mount the new handles, and put in the baskets, and tada, a new stunning sideboard for the bedroom
