Are you ready for the easiest Ikea hack bookshelf you’ve ever seen? I seem to have gone a little spray painting crazy in my house, but I can’t contain my excitement for this effortless transformation. I was looking for a brass bookshelf and I found a black metal one at Ikea for $70! With some gold metallic spray paint, I created an easy DIY brass shelf. The hard work was putting the shelf together (never fails I have to put Ikea furniture together twice!). After I assembled it, I brought it outside and spray painted the entire thing, except for the glass. I bought the shelf for my office that I’m still in the process of decorating. Slowly but surely it will get done : ) Have any of you hacked Ikea furniture that you love?

Hi,
I love your idea and would like to paint my Fjalkinge units with this gold paint, however just wondering if the color has been changed after one year or not, I mean if it lost its shin and get matt or greyish
Thanks
