Cassandra Noel, a Chicago-based interior designer, showcased a DIY project on Instagram where she crafted an entryway table resembling a $10,000 original piece for under $200, utilizing IKEA salad bowls. The original table features an elaborate marble design, while Noel cleverly used eight glued-in BLANDA bowls to form the legs. She shaped a plywood top with scalloped edges to mirror the original's design. After staining and assembling, the final product presented a warm, vintage aesthetic, earning admiration from viewers for its creativity and affordability.
"I used wood filler to fill the creases in the bowl and at this point, I was like, wait ... this could actually turn out really cool."
"I made a dupe of the $10,000 entryway table of my dreams using these IKEA salad bowls."
"Everything then got a good sand and stain before Noel let the pieces dry overnight."
"Noel's IKEA-sourced table was really starting to take shape (literally) once she formed her salad bowl legs and began drafting the tabletop."
