Thrifty Tuesday: IKEA Bookshelves Hack!

I have a soft spot for yellow, like a real big soft spot.It almost brings tears to my eyes thinking about selling my yellow television stand in a couple of months. I just love that thing.So, satisfying my yellow obsession in my next rental is a must, and I have a feeling these bookshelves will do the trick.

Now I know this is old news, but there is no better (or affordable) way to create this look than using the VITTSJO shelving unit from IKEA. They only cost $70.00 and paint up real nicely.

Although I am pretty convinced mine will be painted yellow, I wanted to share with you a round-up of my favorite VITTSJO shelf hacks!

I love how this whole room is styled, but especially those pretty IKEA Shelves!

Rachel from The Pencil Shavings pretty much killed it with her IKEA shelf hack.

The gold spray painted metal paired with the blue campaign dresser...so perfect!

(I also recommend checking out her home tour here...the before and afters are impressive)

Speaking of gold and blue, have you seen Emily from Name 5 Things formal living room tour?

Don't walk, run.

I also spy some yummy Ikea shelves painted gold!

Clearly gold is the color of choice for this hack, but look how good it is in this room!

Lastly, Samaa from Honey Sweet Home is making me drool with her gold leafing action.

So pretty.

So who is ready to run out and buy one of these bad boys?

I know I am.
