We recently updated our Garage. We changed the concrete floor with high gloss epoxy and added additional storage with Ikea floating cabinets.

We used ROCKSOLID Polycuramine Metallic Floor Coating Kit as this is a DIY product and is 20 times stronger than epoxy. Also because this product dries quicker (you can start using the Garage in 8-10 hours and drive on in 24 hours).

We used Cooper Pot color kit. We need 2 kits per 1 Car area, so we ended up using 5 kits for our garage (2 Car area + a little extesion area in the front).

Tip: Order your kit via Home Depot early on as we found that none of our local stores had 5 kits of same color in stock

Here are some of the features of the Kit (as printed on the box) –

After seeing how good the smaller Wall Niche that we did a few days ago (See our Blog here DIY Wall Niche Decor) came out, We decided to take it up a notch. Continue reading to see how we built this Lighted Between-Studs Wall Niches over the 2018 Thanks-Giving Weekend.

Step 1: Decide Location 

This step goes easier if you have the pre-drywall pictures of your home. Yes a studfinder can help with finding the stud locations but not the electrical wires or other things hidden behind the drywall.

We had the pre-drywall pictures of our house and this made it easier for us to finalise the location.

Step 2: Score & Cut

Step 3: Add the Anchors

Step 4: Build Niche Box

Step 5: Add Marble Tiles

Step 6: Build Surround Trim & Stain

Final Product !!!

We are huge fans of Ikea Furnitures. Majority of our DIY projects have some elements from this Superstore. Ikea isn’t just about the cheap aka affordable furniture, but how they make different pieces of furniture that fit into the different ecosystem seamlessly. This post is a Tribute to Ikea furniture in our Home.
