The Ultimate IKEA Hack: O’verlays Fretwork

July 7th, 2011

Cool new product for your next D.I.Y. project!

Yesterday, Heather over at Love Your Space featured O’verlays fretwork panels created by Danika of Gorgeous Shiny Things and Cheryl of The Whole Nine Yards, and I for one think they are the coolest ever! Can’t believe some of these before and afters, and the fact that the panels are compatible with several IKEA pieces. Talk about the ultimate budget-friendly transformation.

The beginnings…a sunroom redo:

and an IKEA PAX transformation:

…to the resulting product idea:

O'verlays: blue & gold RAST

O'verlays: coffee table

O'verlays: pink & orange RAST

O'verlays: screen

I think this one is may favorite, as I’ve always wanted to recreate the partition

Oh how I love innovation and entrepreneurship! Thanks ladies!

    I love the screen idea too. I’ve been thinking I’d love to bedazzle some of my plain doors. I’d have to find a non-permanent way, though, seeing as it’s a rental :(

    That sunroom is to die for!

  3. Love these colorful shots and the amazing vintage inspired furniture especially Pink & Orange Rast Redo

    These are so cool. Really give the custom look many of us can’t quite afford. Awesome!

    You are amazing! So thrilled to be on your site! Thank you for such a concise, informative post. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
    FYI, we have a few new patterns about to launch… greek key, pagodas and more! Stay tuned…
    Thanks again!!!

  8. I saw this yesterday on Danika’s blog and nearly drafted my own blog post right then and there! But then I got swamped and now I’m glad I left the job up to you! Your posts are always so well-rounded!

  10. I love fret partitions, a design element that is sadly missing, they are so Palm Springs! A definite future DIY!

    So loving the color story in the sun-room.
