Restoration Hardware. It is seriously so hard to deny oneself of the awesomeness of RH. What's the snag? They are just too darn expensive. So what happens when you really like a bookshelf from RH, but see it as utter madness to dish out $1,000+ for it?
You find an alternative way of making your own, that's what. And it'll look even better than their's. Or so you hope.
Above you can see a picture of the bookshelf from RH that I used as my inspiration. It has metal framing and raw-looking wood shelves.
The Vittsjo is a metal frame bookcase with glass shelves at Ikea that comes in different sizes - some bigger, some smaller. Ours is middle-sized and came for $70.
Once home, it was a simple matter of watching the wood shelves sink satisfyingly into their slots, fitting better than even the Ikea shelves had.
