Painted IKEA SUNNERSTA Containers

I spotted the IKEA RÅSKOG cart a few years ago and instantly got one. Then another. And another.

And now I have like five of them. I used them in my office and I have a bunch in my studio. To say that I lurv them wouldn’t even be strong enough a sentiment. They are handy, sturdy, easily moved around, and they hold art supplies like a champ. What’s not to love?

But like any good art cart, a little extra storage never hurts. I spotted these SUNNERSTA Containers last time I was at the store, and at just 79 cents a piece picked up four and found it was easy to fill them up.

Not only do they hang on the side of my cart, but they also hang on the wall.

So I went back and got four more.

The only problem? They are……

WHITE.

As in….

And white is cool sometimes… but for this I wanted some color.

So first, husby spray painted for me. I picked out a purple and red color. And I liked them with those colors. But I couldn’t leave them with just that. They needed a little doodling.

And now… I really really love them.
