It’s almost time! Halloween is hitting all my social media platforms and the blog on Sept. 1! Every day at 8 a.m. I’ll have a new post with Halloween fun. 

You guys voted and the majority said to mix it all up with costumes and party planning, so we will, but with an every other day pattern. I’ll still be sharing fall fashion as well so it will be a fun two months!

I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on! I have ideas for adults like years past, but also lots of kid-friendly ideas this year too! Plus, Hocus Pocus 2 is coming so I have a whole “series within a series” to get ready for your watch parties.

Also, Ben in his costumes is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. 😍

Let’s get spooky, y’all! 👻 I can’t wait!

DIY Gold and Marble Shelves

*Post contains affiliate links.

So we’ve moved. Our house is still a little bit in shambles. We have boxes all over the place, empty rooms, and plans to make some spaces great.  I finally finished my first DIY project this weekend for my “Cloffice” (Closet-office). I saw these shelves awhile ago and loved them. However, since we’re just renting our house and I’m not sure what we will move into next, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy really expensive shelves I may not get to keep in the next place we live.

So I came up with an alternative! I really wanted white, gold and marble shelves. I figured I could buy some spray paint and marble contact paper and create my own. I thought I was really clever coming up with this plan, but it turns out it’s already in the universe multiple times. So while not totally original, I’ll tell you what I used to achieve my look.

I bought two of these VITTSJÖ shelves from Ikea, and used Krylon Premium Metallic Spray Paint in Gold. I spray painted all the pieces of the shelves separately  in my yard, then carried them upstairs to assemble. I found that to be easier. Don’t forget to spray paint the white attachment pieces as well.

I then covered the glass shelves in this marble contact paper. Finally I (Stephen) put the shelves together and stood them up.

I am totally in love with them. I’m so pleased that I could have these fancy looking shelves for less than $200 (for two, if you only want one it’s even cheaper than that.)

I’m waiting on a few more pieces to come in this week, then I’m hoping to finally have a full home-“cloffice” reveal on the blog next week. It’s quickly become my new happy place and I can’t wait to share it with y’all, but for now here is a little sneaky peek.

Clearly there are some holes and gaps, but that’s where I’m at so far. I really can’t wait to have it completed!

What’s your favorite DIY project lately?

    I love everything about this! My husband has recently begun using spray paint on his miniatures, and whenever he drags me to Home Depot or Loews I deliberate on what I could do with the metallic spray paints. I always worried that they might look too fake, but these shelves look great!
