Ikea Vittsjo Shelving Unit Hack (sort of)

Remember when I did this post about the Ikea Vittsjo coffee table?

Well it turned out so well (and gold spray paint is super addicting) that I decided to spray paint the Ikea Vittsjo Shelving Unit for my office. 

I'm not sure this is considered a "hack" since all I did was spray it but I love the way it looks in gold!  I'm not sure it's permanent home will be my office, I may move it into my living room, but for now I styled it with a few pretties that I had around the house.

I love this Target Nate Berkus gold dipped bowl.

My favorite little dish from C.Wonder that combines too of my obsessions- frenchies and chevron. (similar here)

Ikea Hack : Vittsjo Coffee Table

Pretty proud of my little ikea hack job on the Vittsjo coffee table today!  I got the idea when I saw the Vittsjo shelves that Tiffany at Meaningful Home gave a gold make over to!

(I also bought the shelves and will be spraying them gold and putting them in my office) 

Anyways- I've been wanting a gold metal and glass coffee table for our living room for a while now but haven't found "the one".  I love the Clairemont from Crate and Barrel but it's too large for the small space.

Then I found the Vittsjo coffee table from Ikea which is a perfect size for the space- 30" diameter.  So this weekend I got out the gold spray paint (actually, I don't think I ever put it away...)  It was super easy and for only $49.99 plus the cost of a can of spray paint it was a cheap fix!

Not too many pieces which is always a good sign- with Olive photobombing as usual.

I put together the table and then took it out to my spray paint lab garage.

I used Rust-oleum Pure Gold spray paint and primer in one.  I really liked the way it covered and the spray nozzle is so much easier to grip than the old school cans with the nozzle on top.  (again with the photobomb!)

I did 3 coats, waiting an hour or two between each one and then let it dry completely overnight.

I didn't use the bottom laminate base and instead just placed the glass back on top.

I am so happy with my new coffee table!  I'm thinking about using the mirror spray paint to spray the glass but I've never used it so I'm a little nervous.

Has anyone used it before and what did you think?
