This is it. It is week 5 of the 6 week One Room Challenge at Calling it Home. Writing a DIY/Decor blog brings all sorts of fun opportunities and this challenge–making over a room in 6 weeks and sharing the progress–has been the best experience. I have virtually ‘met’ so many new blog friends via the challenge, have been touched by the support the community has offered through the process and have been completely inspired creatively. Not to mention, my office is almost done and I am pretty sure that it wouldn’t be 10% of where it is now if I didn’t have the challenge deadlines with weekly posts to create. Motivation!
So this week I am going to hold off showing off too much of my progress as I have finally started to pull everything together–that will all come next week during the week 6 “Reveals” but I did finally get the bookshelves done and up in the space. When I started this was the inspiration board for the space.
The black bookshelves are the IKEA Vittsjo bookcases, I knew I would spray them gold from the beginning. They came out beautifully, but I did use a ton (4 cans!) of spray paint {Rustoleum Metallic Gold Paint + Primer}.

That IKEA hack is one of my favorites- the shelves always look so high end once they have that coat of gold! Ugh your curtain dilemma is so something that I would do but I am sure you will get it figured out! Good luck this week!
Gold really does make everything better! I love how those turned out and the room looks fabulous, I can’t wait to see the final results!!!
The gold touches are fabulous, Amy! It’s coming together great and I can’t wait for reveal! 🙂
The gold on the shelves looks amazing! Good luck with the drape dilemma. Your windows are so big and beautiful–what about not hanging the drapes all the way up so that the 72″ still touches the floor? Whatever, I’m just excited to see your reveal! 🙂
Those gold shelves look fabulous and I love the plan. Excited to see the room next week:)
I LOVE those shelves gold! It just came across my pinterest and I’m hoping to do the same in an upcoming project! This is looking great!
