noooo no no you don’t have to paint the doors at all ~ we have those exact cabinets with that exact color- you get to pick the doors that you want for it – they have 3 choices, white,birch,or the orange….

Ikea furniture is really easy to modify. I took a bathroom cabinet that had these plastic portholes in the doors and popped out the portholes, covered them with an ecru silk diuponi fabric, and the piece is now the pride of our main hallway! Everyone sees it and asks where we got it, because it looks so swanky. I wouldn’t have called it swanky before the enhancement!

I love the idea of painting the doors! I might have to try that with some of the cheap furniture I have, to give a new life. And all these comments make me want to go to Ikea! Good thing it’s an hour+ away so I never want to drive that far…

Oh my, IKEA unites the world!
We are moving into our new house next month here in Arizona and I am getting the Magiker line (3 units and the tv set-up) for my craft room! You must share your tricks for painting the doors. Also– what bins do you plan to use in the cubbies?

I love Magiker. I fell in love with those orangey doors too and I’m sure they may have offered it once but I think it’s discontiued. “Country Living” also featured Magiker with fabric glued to the inside of the glass door. That looked really nice.

I love IKEA stuff. We just did our sewing/computer room in IKEA. We like the Effektiv series because it has desks and storage units with drawers. Here’s a picture of the unit I put together for my sewing stuff. (hope that link worked)

i have a magiker shelf + doors in my room and i love it. i especially like how it has legs so it’s raised above the ground. ikea has some plastic bins/boxes w/ lids that fit perfecly in or underneath it but i can’t remember its name right now.

that’s what i like about ikea is you can get a half decent design without having to pay the high end prices. i think those cupboards will look great.
