IKEA HACK: the $70 Etagere via brightontheday

If you’re not familiar with what an etagere is, don’t feel bad because I actually didn’t know what it was either…until I stumbled across designer Tiffany Richey’s home office on La Dolce Vita blog and fell in love with the look! (#swoon – and that wallpaper? obsessed!). Anyway, I did some research and discovered that these “etagere” beauties run for around $1000-$3000 (the ones in Tiffany’s office are World’s Away if you were wondering).

Thankfully, though, not too long after falling in love with this look, I came across this post by Ana Antunes and was thrilled (!) to know it was an IKEA hack of the Vittsjo “shelving unit”! yayyy! So here’s my little home project inspired by all the fabulous ladies mentioned above. I thought I’d share some pics with you all. Enjoy!

PS: Jenny from Little Green Notebook also wrote a great post about this hack here!
