Hack a Lack Headboard

By DIY Maven

Michael used a couple Ikea Lack shelving units to hack together this very pleasing headboard.

Michael says, “I bought one lack shelving unit full price from Ikea, and found the other for cheap in the returns/damaged department. One unit turned out to be slightly darker than the other one. In order to frame the bed, I made measurements, and had plywood cut to make up for the difference in length of shelf unit versus bed. I chose a stain slightly darker than the darkest lack shelving unit, so that I have a progression of light to dark shades. I purchased the Ikea puck lights and installed them on the bottom of the horizontal shelving unit for night reading. It is a very relaxing space, especially on a cold snowy day.” I don’t doubt it!
