Looking for the perfect affordable couch, Krys hunted down a discounted KARLSTAD sofa in her local IKEA and bravely made ready to dye it into her favourite flamingo pink.
It was no mean feat though – Krys took a wrong turn down candy lane and a complete redo with a homemade custom blended colour before she arrived at the Millennial shade she was after.
It’s all in the details…
Not happy with a simple dye job, she further customized the sofa with tufted detail on the back cushions, studded with buttons covered in extra fabric. She also upgraded the legs by replacing them with a set from a department store which she painted white and sprayed the feet of in gold.

Tip:
Know your style and stick to it – part of the success of Krys’s execution is that she consistently remains true to the Palm Beach style. This informed her decisions about the finer details.
