IKEA Hack

As the popularity of the 'IKEA Hack' continues to grow, 
I long to join the ranks of those DIY'ers.
When I dream of having my own design business, there's usually a lovely faux bamboo brass etagere that would hold all of my books,
clippings, fabric, paint chips, etc.
The price point for one of these can top out in the thousands. 






And then I saw this one on the blog Little Green Notebook 
spray painted gold (from IKEA), a VITTSJO Shelving Unit for a mere $70!


(Before)

(After)

Looks pretty amazing!

Instead of the gold, I'm leaning towards painting
one white and putting it in the living room
(you know, until I start my own business...{dreamin})



From the blog, Centsational Girl.  She replaced the glass shelves with stained wood, and with kids in the house, that is a pretty grand idea.
