warm metallics

I found this picture on the site Joss & Main. I fell in love with this dresser....

I became obsessed with trying to find nice metallic paints.  I have tried quite a few.  
Krylon, Martha Stewart, Modern Masters... to name a few.
So far my favorite it Modern Masters.  
It is a very nice coverage and the colors are warmer than some of the others.
I took this little empire drawer piece (sorry it is upside down in this picture, but you get the idea...)

and made this out of it.

I used Modern Masters on this one.

Here are a couple others that we painted.

Knobs from Hobby Lobby -they have the best and every other week they go half off!
(Yes I still need to find my last knob for this one!)

We used Martha Stewart on this pretty dresser.
We will have these pieces at our Holiday OpenHouse, Dec 7 & 8.

another pretty piece

I've been working on this pretty scroll buffet for a while. 

I decided I wanted to get her down before the super bowl!

I bought this at a separate auction but I thought she would look good with this piece I had previously done.

She is painted with french linen and cream. I love the scroll work!
