Gold Anyone ?










One of my favorite items to have on hand are, a gold paint pen, a
bottle of antique gold paint, a can of gold spray paint, and a small
amount of gold leaf paper.

When you have gold on hand, then just about anything can come to life.

For
example, the Grandfather clock was missing something, it looked too top
heavy and a little out of place. But, what exactly was it? Well. it
needed a little bit of antique gold applied to the wooden do-dad
decoration at the base, and now the clock looks sturdy.

The antique secretary
desk was missing some of it's wooden decorations, a swipe of a gold
paint marker in the right places, and no one would never know. That is en-less they had to point it out, and if they did. They need a life! The same trick worked on an old sewing machine cabinet.

Gold leaf made an old radio cabinet come to life. Now, I am not saying go crazy with gold paints. But, a little adds warmth to any home.
