Gilded Age Gorgeousness

Gilded Age Gorgeousness

We recently had the opportunity to try out a new product


(OK, new to US!)


and I now want to paint EVERYTHING



(and let me tell you, I AGONIZED over what color to try


there is a rainbow of shimmery hues!)


I know, I know...you want pictures!


Here you go!


Well just LOOK at her now!














So about the paint...


it goes on like a DREAM


It's opaque, but we used a lighter shade, so we used three coats


When I told Kenny we were going to try metallic paint, he said:


"you better let ME do this project"


He said this because he is a perfectionist painter,


whereas I am NOT...


Usually, metallics are VERY unforgiving


and every brush stroke shows


(which explains why Kenny didn't want me to do it!)


but this paint is so SMOOTH!


It dried fairly quickly, too


These pieces had a shiny, varnished surface


so we lightly sanded them first


We distressed just a little, and the paint was easy to distress


To finish, we used dark wax


I was very worried that I'd opted to tackle

such a LARGE project with one quart of paint...


but guess what?


We've got half a quart left!


I am OVER-THE-MOON


about how this set turned out...


Modern Masters was the perfect choice


to GLAM it up...


I loved it so much, in fact,


I'm painting my own buffet-turned-entertainment center next!


This set is available in our ETSY shop
