I transformed an Ikea dresser into a stylish dog crate

A DIY expert has converted an Ikea dresser into a fashionable crate for her dog.

She said not only does she adore it but her dog does as well.

Lisa (@garrisonstreetdesign) shared the project with her TikTok followers.

Taking the drawers out of an Ikea Malm dresser, she started by removing all the cabinet shelving from the piece.

Next, she repainted all the planks of wood and reinstalled them back onto the dresser for a crate design.

For the insides of the dresser, she painted it the same color as the outside and even added a layer of wallpaper.

"Ikea Malm dog create is finally done," she said.

"The best part, Marvin likes it!!! He started going in right away once I added a pillow and blanket to the bottom.

"I am so happy I finally figured it all out and that he loves it as much as I do, bonus, I also got to try out my new router!

"After practicing on three pieces of wood, I am basically an expert," she joked.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts on the project.

"He's in there only by his own choice," said one commenter.

"Sometimes by my choice, but he really does like it in there!" Lisa replied.

"Thank goodness because I worked very hard on it."
