Everyone knows that battling IKEA on the weekends are not for the faint of heart (psst, Friday nights are gold--just make sure everyone is well fed before you drag them there). But with a deal like the trestle legs for $20, its so worth it.
I've been pretty obsessed with Facebook online garage sales lately (like OBSESSED) and have been accumulating some great DIY projects because of it. I have 6 enormous vintage window shutters, four of which I made into a headboard for our guest room, but I have two leftover screaming for a spot, perhaps a desk or console?....decisions, decisions.
I put Ikea trestle legs up there with Expedit greatness. They are pretty fabulous for a quick dining table, desk or side table on a budget and the color possibilities make it truly one of a kind.
Makeup table ladies?
Add a few pieces of reclaimed timber and Voila! Instant industrial.
Or you could go as far as to use the butcher block counter top from Ikea for a smoother finish.
Any good Ikea hacker knows to think outside the box. How about install upside down to create a pin-like leg, more legroom, and cleaner storage.
The look can even go a little tradish.
Incorporate multiples for a whole office.
For a fun pop of color, get your spray paint out. I love the mis-matched chairs.
A little faux brass really glams this up. I mean looks like a million bucks!

Wow, love the idea with the upside-down legs. Gonna try that one with painted brass legs and a white meltorp top for a chique little dining table .
How did you attach the legs to the table tops? Was there adhesive used?
A great work desk is so hard to find. I love the faux brass details on the last image. Great ideas for DIY. Thanks for sharing!

At IKEA today, I learned that table tops just rest on the trestles, so you don't have to screw into the table! I love that. Subscribe to http://www.youtube.com/joshrachlis to see the videos I make with my new table.
