Hey everyone, I realized I didn't even wish you all a nice weekend on Friday!
Getting back from vacation on Monday night left me in a befuddled state all week, anyway
hope yours was awesome! I was able to fit in an Ikea Hack - a makeover of the popular
Ikea Vittsjo Nesting Tables - they're so versatile, they come as a set of two, and a big bang
for the buck at $60. My inspiration was a fabulous coffee table from Horchow, for $1,000!

I had time to check out the latest House Beautiful while on the plane, and noticed this...
...and remembered one of my favorite bloggers, uber-talented Kristin, recently
made over a Vittsjo here.

Emerald Green Dresser makeover to create a corner detail similar to the Horchow look.
A couple light coats of Rust-Oleum Metallic Gold on the tables and pulls, and Loc-Tite Super
Glue to adhere the pulls and that was it! Super easy!
Place one pull in the corner vertically, and the second pull behind it horizontally.
Did you notice my girl made it into the photo, barely. :)
My latest thrift store find is the blue and white ginger jar.
The tutorial for the leopard tray is super easy, it was made from a $2.99 Ikea plastic tray.
Yes, I have an addiction to fun pillows (and gold accents)!
No, I didn't make a bunch of new ones, I was playing with some of the fabric
patterns, I showed you for my client and just wrapped it around pillows,
the black and white is from Ikea,
the blue and white floral I stole from my back deck makeover,
the Embroidered Puebla Pillow Cover I found at West Elm it's on sale for $14.99.
Check out my newest hack
Hope you're inspired to try a diy this week!

So clever, Pam. It is so airy and pretty - love the black and gold. That's one of the prettiest ginger pots I've seen.

Your blue and white ginger jar looks perfect on the new table. Great job Pam!
OK, that totally gave the table a different look! Looks simple and clean yet stunning and dramatic! Your projects are so clever! And, your styling is beautiful as always, so fresh and summery!
That is about the most clever idea I have EVER SEEN!

You are brilliant! I love this little detail you added. It made that $60 ikea table look so much more expensive. And you know I love gold! Way to knock this one out of the park Pam!
You are a genius!! It turned out great! And I'm jealous of your thrift store find! Geez, I need to find a good thrift store around here... :)
I absolutely love this! It is taking everything in me not to run out to Ikea right now!

You are amazing...just gorgeous!!...You should be the resident DIY'er for Ikea!
This is amazing!! I see a trip to Ikea in my future.
I was on my way to ikea tomorrow to get this same table set and spray paint it gold! I think I will have to add these accents now! :) Thanks!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Such a brilliant idea, friend.
Who'd a thought to use drawer pulls in such a way! Brilliant my dear.
Pam, BRILLIANT. I love how this came out, what a great idea!
Such a great idea for the corner accents and love your dog popping through!
-Katie@mydiyhabits

OMG Pam, you are absolutely genius!!!! Now I want one! Too bad for me though, closest ikea is 6 hours away! Love, love, love it!
Genius. Going to IKEA today!
I adored this when I first pinned it on Pinterest a couple months ago and I just made this and just posted it on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing this and inspiring me, I love how it turned out! Sharon
Hi Pam! I just finished spray painting this table gold metallic and am wondering your thoughts on doing a clear finish to help protect it. Your thoughts? If so do you have any suggestions as to what protectant to use? Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Genius!!!
Hi Kelley - I didn't do a clear finish, but if you'd like one it would be easy to do a test on the underside to be sure you like it. You might try the clear spray finishes by Rustoleum or Krylon, I have used both of them in the past on other projects and liked the result. So glad you tried this, I'd love to see a picture! :)
Beautiful! I was thinking of buying this IKEA table. How easy was it to assemble?
Hi Ashley - it's SUPER easy to assemble, good luck!
love how this turned out great job
How many sets of handles did you use on this?
Hi Andrea, I used eight sets of handles, placing them in the four corners (both top and bottom) of the larger piece. But, you could use four sets and just do the top if you're trying to keep costs down.
Pam did you put the table together before you spray painted it?
This is great! I love the detailed pieces you added.

I love the bedroom! I doubt that I'll ever have a room like that because it's so not my style. So why do I love it so much?
Oh, and the maps are great. Thanks for posting.

Love it! I just found the nesting tables on Craigslist for $35, so I'm hoping the guy emails me back! I love this hack!

Love this idea!
Ikea seems to have discontinued the Metrik pulls. Would any of their other handles work for this hack?
Did anyone find a substitute for the Metrik pulls? What are their dimensions?
There are several online that are very similar - search 'square pulls' images. Good luck!
Sorry, forgot the dimensions - Ikea Metrik are 4" x 1 1/4".
HI there.. just found this and this is just what I have been looking for. I noticed between the tray and the table, you used two different brands of gold spray paint. Do you now have a preference on which one looks better/more high-end? Also, I have seen various blogs use this table with the bottom being painted white or a faux marble. Were you happy with the black? I would love to send you pics of the room this is going in to get your input
Michelle - I like the Rustoleum Metallic Gold spray paint, it's what I normally use. I think I'd read about the other one and tried it on the tray. I ended up selling the tables to a client, and the black worked great with her home. Sure, I'm happy to look at your pic of the room! :)
Wow! You're DIY and beyond amazing! I've noticed you use different Gold sprays on the site. What's your favorite?
WOW!! Really chic! thanks so much for sharing! .....this is the best ikea hack I've seen too! I'm trying this one today!
This is absolutely brilliant. This looks 100 times nicer than ANY gold coffee table even at $300.
I do have a question: do you think a regular paint would work instead of spray paint? Unfortunately I don't have the outdoor space to be able to do this ...
Hi In Search of Tranquility,
You might try something like Martha Stewart's Liquid Gilding, you can find it at Michaels. Or, some sort of metallic paint may work if the metal is primed. I haven't tried it, you might check with your local paint store too, they're usually great at knowing which products to recommend. Good luck!
Love this table!! How did you get the pulls to sit so perfectly on the table frame. I'm currently doing this DIY myself and the pulls aren't sitting flat on the table frame without pushing the other out :( Any help would be appreciated!
Oh gosh, I didn't have any trouble with that at all. I'm wondering if you have some warped pieces of metal?? It's been three years since I did it, perhaps the size has been changed, I'm just guessing, I really don't know what would cause that. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
I think you can never go wrong with a touch of gold. It adds an expensive touch to any furniture piece, be it a storage cabinet or a coffee table like yours. The additional black layer at the bottom half also adds an additional storage space which is great for a messy household like mine right now.
i can't find these METRIK pulls anywhere! please help! desperate to try this ikea hack!!
Hi Cassie, the Metrik pulls were discontinued a couple years ago. I did see some on Ebay, also there are several online that are very similar. Search 'Square Pulls" Images. Good Luck!
In the modern busy life its hard to manage time for buying furniture's. Thus we cant get the good quality furniture. So Alternative to ikea stores is a place where we can get all the desired furniture's under the one roof.

I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I was skeptical at first but I took the risk to take a loan of $500, and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I received a profit of $5,500 with an investment of $500 within 7 days of trading , the most joy is that I can now take care of my family, i am just sharing my testimony on here. I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran, God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services. He can also help you recover your lost funds, For a perfect investment and good return on investment contact Mr Bernie Doran on Gmail : Berniedoransignals@gmail.com his telegram : IEBINARYFX or his whatsApp : 1 ( 424 ) 285 – 0682
As they grew and Zipper became about three times the size of Velcro (not that you can always tell by looking since she is so fluffy) I wondered if they would stay good friends or become rivals. But though they play games and chase and pounce on each other at times, they seem to really enjoy snuggling too. Sometimes they act like siblings (which they are not, she's about 4 months older than he is) and have little spats, but the vast majority of the time they share food, hunt together, snuggle together, etc. And I just think they are beautiful cats. We do not have any mouse issues around the place with them in charge!
