DIY Gold Étagère
When One King's Lane shared a photo of my living room on their Instagram earlier this month I was surprised that the most-commented-on feature of the room was a DIY - everyone wanted to know where my fancy étagères were from. My answer? "Ikea!"
If you're lucky you can find vintage étagères on craigslist, otherwise they can cost $1,200 to upwards of $3,000 new. My search was unsuccessful so I turned to a well known Ikea hack for our shelving needs. Of course, Ikea's VITTSJÖ shelves need a little help to look like this. But with a coat of gold metallic paint and some queen anne corners from one of my favorite DIY resources - o'verlays - these shelves are an elegant and affordable way to display books and other treasures and the whole project is under $100 per étagère! Though I should mention that I like them best in pairs.
