(I thought it sounded better to piff this up rather than pimp it. You can
piff stuff up in Swedish. So so be it here.)
We had this 'extra' ikea cup board over at the country house that we had used in our kitchen while between renovations. It made it into Dag's cupboard, for his clothes and bed sheets and such, with some toys for him to dig out from the bottom drawer.
I put up a piece of curtain fabric on a string to the doors, to cover up any possible mess and mis-matching baskets inside. (Which behold, is now for the whole internet to see. The cupboard is quite shallow and it was kind of hard to find small but practical enough baskets for his clothes. Good thing they are small, the clothing, hehe. I can't stand having clothes or bed linen by themselves on shelves, everyting.must.go.into.baskets.)
We changed the metallic knobs to porcelain ones.
(But we still don't have floor boards. Aaaaaaaaa....)
Dag is still staying in our bedroom; the lace fabric match the bedroom curtains. When we eventually get the other rooms and spaces fixed up and he gets a room of his own I can change the lace to some other fabric to suit his future space. (Or, find another use for the piece...)

The baskets thing is a great idea, my piles of clothes on shelves always fall over and I lose things!

Looks great! Also, the expression "spiffed up" exists in English too.
