G is for Gilding

Alright I know I skipped a few letters here, but I could not help but skip past Clay and Decoupage for this one. What girl doesn't like a little gold and silver. I first saw gilding done while watching Debbie Travis. She coated the underside of a gorgeous claw foot bathtub in silver, it was stunning, and I was an instant fan. Our bathroom renovation was lacking a little shine, and I thought the mirror frame was the perfect spot to try gilding.  I admit, I was a bit intimidated by the incredibly thin sheets of silver, but with Martha's instructions made it quite simple to work with. Thrilled with how it turned out, I am on the look out for other rooms that are in need of a little glamour.
