ikea hack - lätt table & chairs

                              

Have you seen Ikea's Lätt table and chairs? The thing I love about this set is it's only $25. That's a steal for a new table and chairs! The only problem is it's a little boring. To spice it up I painted the legs and frame of both the table and chairs (before assembling). I wanted to use multiple colors to make it really fun. I then added some foam and upholstered the chairs. I figured this would make them more comfortable, and make them look a little nicer. I used some fabric and foam that I had left over from other projects  and bought the vinyl (it's super cheap at Walmart).

                          

After the paint was dry, I assembled according to the Ikea instructions. I had to get a little creative and use some muscle on the chairs, but it came together perfectly. I love how they turned out!
