What do you get when you mix my love gold metallic and IKEA? A gorgeous Gold Metallic Bookcase...
I love the deals and trendy home decor found at IKEA. The Vittsjo Bookcase is a steal at $70. The elegant look of the Vittsjo metal and glass bookcase is gorgeous, but I preferred something lighter than the dark metal. A huge number of home decor issues can be solved with one essential ingredient...paint. Using two cans of Valspar spray paint, to ensure great coverage, you'll only spend about $12 on paint. Hop over to the blog and check out my makeover of the IKEA Vittsjo, taking it from a dark black to a gorgeous soft, sating gold. http://www.houseontheway.com/ikea-bookcase-makeover/

Monica Abel on Jun 26, 2014This is stunning! I just bought this bookcase a few weeks ago and never thought of painting the metal. I see another project in my future...

Heather Stenberg on Jul 23, 2014Wow! That does look great! I bought the same shelves last month, but paid $70. All well, I still love them!
