HEAVY ON THE METAL

I'm currently loving all things metallic when it comes to home accessories. Vases. Planters. Frames. Lamps. Pillows. All of it. I like to mix vintage finds, cool big-box retail buys, and easy DIY projects in warm metals like gold, brass, and copper to cozy up my cooler-toned color schemes of navies and greens, while adding simple touches of glamor. Here's a tour of my metallic obsession.

This gold vase was an inexpensive estate sale find.

This little gold picture frame came from the local Goodwill.

I glammed up a cheap old plastic clock with copper leafing.

This adorable gold patterned pillow is from the Nate Berkus line at Target.

Craigslist is great for vintage goodies like this brass floor lamp.

A boring plant pot gets a makeover with some DIY copper leafing.

Oh man, you can metallic-ize anything and everything with some gold or copper leafing. I hope to have a short tutorial to follow. Get ready to King Midas that junk!
