Pottery Barn Knock Off Using Ikea Expedit Storage Unit

When I realized the storage unit I had been eying in the Pottery Barn catalog was being discontinued I begin to brainstorm on how I could recreate it, and on the CHEAP! Enter big, bulky, Ikea Expedit...It might not be love at first site (at first) but with a few pieces of trim, glue, and metal labels, it turned into a functional and beautiful piece of furniture that now displays my most valuable items. #bestof2012

I love the expidit from IKEA. We have several of them. Yours looks great! I'm inspired by the little labels you attached to them. Lisa~

This is really cute. I'll have to check out staples for the label plates for my craft room organizer. Thank you.
