Let me start out by saying how much I love the Ikea As-is section. It is filled with returns, displays, scratch and dents, and everything else under the sun. If you have the slightest bit of fixer-upper in you, it is the place to go. Today’s project started out as this Besta Tombo glass door, which retails for $40. I found it hanging out in the As-is section for $0.99. That’s right 99 cents! It was missing the hinges, which is probably how it ended up in As-is. Who cares! I didn’t need a glass door. 
I didn’t write up a full tutorial, but if anyone is interested, I can put something together.
I started with this….
and I ended up with this! As you can tell, it is a birthday gift for someone. I hope she loves it. I’m a little jealous to be giving it away. 🙂
I stop by the As-is section often, so this won’t be the last Ikea project you see!
Awesome!! Glad to see that my Robert and Meresa knowledge and inspiration was able to help guide you too!! Looks great!!
That is great!!!

How cool! I had no idea that IKEA had an as is section. I am definitely going to look for that the next time I go!
very cool! I thought about doing this with just a picture frame, but couldn’t find one cheap enough, and i don’t live close to an IKEA! I ended up just using a regular white board to keep chores under control (http://amy-newnostalgia.blogspot.com/2010/03/white-board-for-chores.html)
I love your idea of giving it as a gift!

Very cute! There isn’t an IKEA anywhere near me and I really wish there was!
Thanks for sharing this! I had no idea that Ikea had an as-is section! I will definitely check that out on my next stop there. Your revamp turned out adorable!
That’s really cute!

Cute! Can you just erase it off the glass?
Darn cute! I dont live close enough to IKEA to get there often, but when I do, I head right through the maze to the “as is” section. LOL
Katie- The markers rub right off. They are dry erase markers. It’s great.
Great job! I love the paper you used! : )
Wow it looks great. I just relocated to central Texas where we have an IKEA a few miles away. I have never been in one because there wasn’t a store near by. I have to check out their sales.
Thanks for the info!
