DIY: Gold-Dipped Legs

I love a good project and this is one I’ve been meaning to try for a long long time! After finally convincing my mom that this little table needed a makeover, I got to work. Here’s some of my inspiration…

So the next challenge was actually figuring out which colors I wanted to go with. Bright? Neutral or natural? Metallic? It wasn’t easy with so many awesome combinations, but gold and white are a classic combination and a perfect fit for my bedroom.

The final product turned out beautiful! I’m so excited and it looks great in my room where it serves as a vanity. The only problem now is that I want to dip everything in my apartment, which clearly, would be overkill.

The Details

• 1 quart oil-based enamel paint { I used the generic brand from Sherwin Williams }
• 1 can Krylon Primer spray paint
• 1 can Krylon Gold spray paint
• painter’s tape
• paint brushes
• paint thinner to clean brushes with
• electric sander { you can rent tools from Home Depot! }
• trash bags

More Notes

Always spray paint outdoors! Read the directions on the back of the can and let everything dry before painting the next coat. Be creative! Use colors that fit your room’s palette and have fun!
