Adding a dash of unconventionality here and a dash of eccentricity there is the magic that binds one’s space together. In the image above gloss (the staple of every girl’s handbag), reflects beautifully off this coffee table and adds a touch of instant glamour. Glamorous touches are the trend of the moment and create a truely electrifying effect. Although buying lacquered furniture can be expensive you can (dare I say this again) do it yourself by spraying something your already have in a fabulous hue. Taking something a tad bland and then giving it a bit of a tongue in cheek makeover creates a startling effect. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again adding glamour doesnt have to cost big bucks – its all about reinventing, embellishing and reworking!
thanks for the inspiration! I read your blog and love everything about it! Perhaps I will buy something marked glossy in the spray can aisle and jazz something up… soon!
thanks again and gj!
Hi Abigail… love your blog page and your style. Now do you suggest using standard paint (i.e. resene) to get a full gloss finish or just the spray cans of gloss paint (what about car paint?) thanks
I really think it depends on what you are painting. If its a small piece like a table or mirror then I am pretty smitten with car paint as once sprayed will look super glossy and lacquered. You won’t I hate to say get quite the some glossy super sexy finish with average gloss paint.
