Every summer I become a kid again. I walk to the library and pick up more books than I can carry home with me. I eat my favorite flavor of ice cream in a cone and forget the napkins on purpose. My hands become so sticky I use my jeans to wipe away the mess. I stay up late and use a flashlight to read under the covers. I ride my bike around town with nowhere to go and stop at the corner store to get red licorice for the outdoor movie that night. And best of all I create. I have waited all year, slowly gather the money I needed for all of the bits and pieces now stashed under my bed . This summer wasn't any different except for one thing: I decided to share it with you.

Transforming a small three drawer dresser purchased from Ikea, into a linen covered bedside table wasn't difficult. I used this site to guide me through the step by step and get informed on what materials would be needed.

I hope your summers are as memorable as mine and you find a project to make you feel giddy when your done. I mean who wouldn't be after they put octopus knobs on their new bedside table, right?

Happy DIY!
