50 Ways To Turn 5 Of IKEA's Best Sellers Into DIY Gold

As we speak, I’m sitting in my IKEA chair, drinking from an IKEA mug, and resting that mug on an IKEA coffee table between sips.

As a 20-something with approximately zero dollars between rent and bills, I appreciate the fact that I can get sleek furniture for a fraction of what I’d pay if I went to a store where people with lots of dollars like to shop.

Business Insider recently released a list of the furniture powerhouse’s best-selling pieces. Do I have most of them? Maybe. Do you? Quite possibly. But here’s the thing.
