Fabulous faux gilding is all the rage right now. Not only does the right glittery hue modernize your everyday traditional, but it also infuses any interior with zing. Whether it’s sconces, mirrors, candlesticks or even chairs–gold and metallic tints are hot this summer!
Whip out the gold spray paint and start spraying. Krylon has some really great products, I recommend their Metallic Shimmer Sprays. By adding a metallic touch to antique pieces you will transform these items and make them more in tune with today’s trends. When deciding what to revitalize, look for something with an unusual shape. A tree root table would look amazing after being treated with gold. Keep in mind that items with carved and ornate details will really pop when highlighted by metallic paint.
