I was beyond thrilled to see that my tapered legs that I had ordered from Etsy had arrived. (I ordered them at an Etsy store called Thirteen Colonies Wood Products. They sell replacement furniture legs that fit Ikea pieces so there's no mount replacing-related stress involved. Love it!
The legs I bought were unfinished maple, so next step was going to Home Depot and choosing a stain. I went with MINWAX Wood Finish #224 "Special Walnut". I gave each leg one even coat with the foam brush and then let the stain sit and penetrate the legs for about 20 mins till the depth of color I was going for was achieved. Afterwards I removed the stain with a clean washcloth.
I let them dry overnight and them put them onto the new sofa and VOILA! Project complete.
Here is the final BEFORE and AFTER shots:
I'm so happy with the finished product. Now its onto the next project!
