Whether you have the golden touch or were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, there’s no time like the present to indulge in the world of metallics! Gold and Silver materials are significant status symbols that wreak of high-end style.  Live luxe and love your interior surroundings by incorporating the recent wave of modern metallic accessories into your home.  

First, reach for Kyrlon’s Metallic spray paint, available at any hardware store.  Next, find distinctive everyday objects such as kids toys or athletic/ sport items.  Hit up the local Dollar Store, which also has inexpensive offerings to spray.  Apply two coats of paint (be sure to spray in a well ventilated area).  Once dry, you have instant chic metallic accessories for your home!

Also from P.S. I made this, I haven’t been able to find any tchotchkis that are up to par, but I did spray paint a few pine cones metallic silver and put ‘em on my tree!

I’m seeing spots! The good kind. Beaded details can be summed up in one word- j’amazing.  Recreate and redecorate all at once.  I decided to channel this motif into my deep pottery passion/obsession.

Have fun with this simple, design inspired decorative project.  Its the perfect way to re-purpose empty cans, bottles, containers without dropping a small fortune on pretty porcelain.

Ceramic Skinny: Check out all the amazing ceramics that hail from West Germany from 1950-1970.  The designs are beautiful.  Fast forward to our modern-day prince of pottery,  Jonathan Adler.  Mr. Adler is quirky in all the right ways.  His tortoise lamp is currently top on my wish list!

PS- Puffy Paint will totally bring you back to your early art project days!

I really love this idea—I’ve already tried it out with a few bottles and glass carafes, and it worked out really well (except the can… it’s actually quite hard to make a can not look like a can). My mother is also obsessed with Chinotto, a drink made by Pellegrino which has the same exact shape as the middle bottle. So while I am home for the holidays I definitely plan to make the millions of recyclable bottles into art!
