Easy and Simple IKEA Hemnes Dresser Hack

ORIGINAL FINAL DRESSER - Easy and Simple IKEA Hemnes Dresser Hack

After tackling my closet reorganization, my next project was a simple IKEA Hemnes Dresser Hack. Since moving into my apartment, I’ve enjoyed creating a space that works for me. It’s comfortable, feminine and it truly reflects my personality. In my bedroom I decided to glam an old IKEA dresser to fit my room decor. It is the perfect size and all of my clothes fit in it; however it needed a little something extra. This is a super easy makeover that anyone can do and it takes less than an hour to complete. My inspiration came from a dresser that I liked but didn’t want to purchase.

Bronze Pulls

My bedroom has gold elements throughout so I found these replacement pulls to add some color to the dresser.  Lee Valley Tools has many dresser hardware options and this pull is available in several finishes and sizes. These Burnished Bronze Pull Rings are super easy to install and only require a Phillips screwdriver. Once installed, the look of the dresser instantly changed however it was still missing the glam factor that it still needed.

Overlays

To achieve this look, I added these overlays from a company that makes them for IKEA furniture. The Anne Kit for IKEA Hemnes dresser has 6 overlays for each of the drawers. Available in either 1/4 or 1/8 thickness, they can be painted or stained to any color that you prefer. I kept them white since the pulls added enough pop of color. Like the pulls, each overlay was easy to install and only required liquid super glue to adhere them to the dresser.

Hey Y'all, how are you in the midst of all this ch Hey Y'all, how are you in the midst of all this chaos? Have you set any new goals for 2021? ⁠
⁠
My word for 2021 is BALANCE. Last year I learned the importance of giving attention to every area in my life. As wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, business owners and professionals, we wear many hats that require us to show up. In addition to that we have goals, aspirations, dreams and a purpose that requires us to show up. ⁠
⁠
BALANCE requires us to show up while maintaining our physical and mental health. BALANCE requires knowing when to stop and most importantly when to say no. ⁠
⁠
In 2021 I will enjoy peace and harmony that BALANCE provides.⁠

So now we wait. Today in GA we voted in the runoff So now we wait. Today in GA we voted in the runoff election for two Senate seats. After months of watching negative ads that ran on a repetitive loop throughout the day and night, we now sit and wait. Hopeful that prayers are answered!⁠

My name is Michell, I am 51 years young and I am p My name is Michell, I am 51 years young and I am postmenopausal. WOW...what exactly does that mean? I honestly had to look it up. I do know that I will never again have to worry about menstrual cramps or heavy periods and of course this body isn't having any more children.  At 35, I thought that I would be happy when I reached this stage in life..I was wrong. ⁠
⁠
I have endured years of hot flashes, night sweats and forgetfulness just to name a few of the annoying symptoms that have become symbolic of menopause. I am relieved that many of these symptoms no longer burden me  however this journey now includes being more vigilant at taking care of my body. Osteoporosis and heart disease are common in postmenopausal women. Do we ever get a break?? I can't complain, as it could be much worse. Instead I am embracing this journey and focusing on my wellness. Healthy eating, exercise, meditation and peace are on now my priorities. 🧡⁠

⁠ Started the new year with some fresh flowers! ⁠
Started the new year with some fresh flowers! I love the smell and they always bring me joy.  There are many things that I am committing to this year and keeping fresh flowers in my home is one of them. My friend @liveprettyonapenny is the hydrangea expert, she told me the secret to long lasting flowers is refreshing them with warm water. ⁠

Are you a morning or a late night person? I am def Are you a morning or a late night person? I am definitely a morning person, I wake up bright and early with ridiculous energy. Add in a good workout and I feel like I can run a marathon. 

By mid-day I’m usually in a slump and in need of a quick nap to energize myself again. I take my vitamins before bed but I’m wondering if I should switch it up and take them in the morning.  Perhaps then I’ll have more energy throughout the day. 

What time of day do y’all take your vitamins? Let me know in the comments below.
