IKEA Alex Hack! DIY Faux Apothecary Cabinet. Home Office Update!

I adore apothecary units, but they can be pricey. So, I decided to hack the Ikea Alex set of drawers and DIY my own Faux apothecary cabinet. I also have been giving my home office an update, which I will share more in next week's video, but here is a sneaky peak. I hope you enjoy this week's, Ikea Hack.

Love the Ikea hack. You did a great job changing it and it looks fantastic.

Oh, how I wish you were full time on youtube! I adore you and everything you do. I've watched almost every one of your videos...some of them a few times lol. My baby and I get up from our thursday naps and the FIRST thing I do is look for you! And you never disappoint!!

I think what you have done with that room is stunning. It does bring a calming effect to one's spirit. A nice cup of hot tea after a relaxing bath at the end of the day, a pencil and some drawing paper and let the creativity flow. ☺

Can’t wait to see your new office, ikea unit looks great 👍

Love the way you have changed the set of drawers, absolutely brilliant. It gives me an idea to change one of our sets of drawers. Many thanks for inspiration to do this Catherine.

OMG I love this finished project...just got the keys to my new house and a number of up cycling ideas gathered from you...

I love it! Ikea furniture was my best investment ever, I wish I had not spent thousands on other stuff. I have had an Alex for almost ten years. It holds all my paper punches, cutters, rubber stamps, Sizzix dies. The other I cannot live without is the Kallax (formerly Expedit)...oh the best for craft spaces! Cheeky thumbs up my favorite ray of Irish sunshine! xx

[annieoli]

It turned out great. Love the sage green.

YES to passing things on ! Looking good 😃

I have just discovered your vlog, and blown away. Aren't you lovely. Love what you have done with your home. Very inspirational. 🌻❤️🌸

Hey Catherine that turned out really nice. Recycle, reuse and reduce💚❤

[itsacarolbthing]

You brought out the white wax, and I thought 'yippee!! She's going to say my favourite word!! Autentico!'. And then you didn't. Gutted, I tell you, gutted! Great job, missus, looks fab. Xx

[deepestanio]

Looks like old fashioned tool drawers! Amazing!

[barbaramccoy]

Excellence again! I am rethinking my work space and this idea is priceless without denting the budget. Thanks.

[angiejovi]

Brilliant, you will be setting a trend

[julesiou]

That's such a great hack. I love how you've added the veneers to the fronts and adding legs really gives it a cool look. I'm a terror for collecting legs. I've even unscrewed feet or legs of an abandoned sofa or two that are beyond repair for anything else. They really vamp up a piece. Love all those little drawers so handy for hobbies. Thanks for sharing and inspiring as always x
