Keep reading for instructions on how to create your own Ikea Greek key dresser!

Instructions:

1. Paint the dresser your desired color, here we used gold acrylic spray paint for the trim and a baby blue for the restTimmyThe WienerDog

1. Measure out thin pieces of wood for your Greek keys, depending on how you want them (vertically, horizontally, big, small) making sure that the keys will cover any knob holes

Proper Hunt

1. Using a miter saw, cut, glue, and paint (two coats) on the Greek keys. Don’t paint the back since it will be glued onto the dresser.

BDB Tip: I recommend finding a dresser without a laminate finish such as this one from Ikea which is easier to paint.
