I was looking to incorporate an old Hollywood theme in my bedroom and having a dressing table that could double up as a desk was something that could really bring this theme together. I came across this wonderful IKEA desk makeover idea by Liz Fenwick DIY on YouTube, and could not believe my luck. Liz found an ordinary $40 desk at IKEA and Spray painted it gold. I love the look of gold in home decor, so when I saw this idea I was smitten. Liz used marble contact paper on the shelf inside the desk and that finishing touch really gave the desk a regal look.
This video tutorial by Liz Fenwick DIY on YouTube is so easy to follow. Liz found this $40 desk at IKEA and spray paints it a beautiful gold color. Any gold spray paint will work here and you could also use this fabulous idea on anything else you might need to paint. Really anything you decide to spray paint gold is going to look extra special.
Then, Liz uses this amazing marbleized contact paper to really dress up the single shelf on this desk.
This is an amazing video tutorial and since I had so much gold paint leftover, I have gone on a total gold painting spree. I painted a chair that I found at a yard sale and it matches my desk perfectly.
