gold dipped

Just loving the gold base of this tulip table- it’s just the right amount of unexpected glam.  I’m thinking about giving a similar treatment to my Docksta table.  The base has been looking a little grubby, why not give it a new metallic life?

What do you think… très chic, or too flashy for you?

  1. Interesting. I’ve never seen this before. I think if you’re Docksta needs a facelift, it’s a great idea! I’m all for a little gold!

  2. LOVE THAT! MAYBE I NEED TO GET ONE NOW!!! xoxo

    There is no such thing as too much gold.

    Do it!

  4. Maybe you should try to gold leaf it….JK!!!! ;p

    Love this! I wonder what would be the best method? gold leaf, paint? Might be hard to get it looking smooth…

  6. Caitlin- if your serious, you should look on CL. I see them all the time.

    Brandi- I swear by Montana Gold’s Gold spray paint. No more gold leafing for me after my french chair debacle!

    Love it! I don’t think it’s too flashy, since it’s not a super glossy/shiny metallic…love it in that slightly muted finish :)

  8. If you think I am going to say no to adding some glamour, you are *ca-razy*! I think it’s fabulous…I’m going to be an enabler and say DO IT! DO IT!

  9. Ooh, this just opens up the idea of all the different fabulous colors you can paint the base in.

    I don’t think it’s too flashy one bit.

  10. I am liking this! I have a tulip base languishing in my basement but I haven’t found the right idea for it . . .

  11. tres chic. But metallic gold is my FAVORITE color, and always will be!

    i love metallics, and have adorned the walls in my studio with it.

    I think because the gold is not too flashy and quite matt it blends in nicely.

    I’m all for the midas touch!

    I’m super late to the game here, but yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Just no gold leaf, am I right?

  20. I love this idea! I actually see these tables pretty often at flea markets/antique markets but they are always beat up so I never really give them a second glance. I might consider getting one now!

  21. Definitely tres chic! I’ve been contemplating dipping my old, beat up dining room chairs in gold paint… to add some oommphh!
