18 IKEA Kitchen Hacks That are Great for Any Home

Oh, our kitchen. It has kind of been the bane of my existence since we moved into our house. You will rarely see pictures of it on the blog because it truly needs to be entirely gutted and rebuilt. It also has sort of an awkward layout that we will have to figure out how to deal with if and when we decide to remodel. Until that day comes, though, I’ve been dreaming and scheming about creative ways to use the space, and when I found myself pinning a bunch of genius IKEA hacks for the kitchen, I thought it would be a shame not to share. Check out these fun ideas for upgrading your kitchen on an IKEA budget…

{These projects are so awesome that I know you are going to want to pin them! If you wish to pin this post, please pin the title image above. If you would like to pin one of the individual projects, please pop over to the original blog and pin directly from the source. Thanks so much!}

BILLY Bookshelves to Kitchen Island by Golden Boys and Me

This little bookshelf added more storage to the kitchen and makes the perfect island. The best part is that it can always be moved later if needed.
