I'll be Dipped

I shared my slipcover I made for my Mullet Style Wingback Chair a couple of days ago, and posed the question of whether or not I should paint or stain the legs.  Kelly at JAX does design suggested that I paint the bottom couple of inches gold to tie into the brass buttons.  I loved the idea.  Right away I started thinking about all the cool dipped furniture legs I'd seen recently.

Cassie at Primitive & Proper recently made over those ubiquitous 2 tiered tables that you find on Craigslist all the time.  Very chic!

Jenny at Little Green Notebook wrote a whole post about them featuring these chairs seen in Better Homes & Garden,

and this fantastic campaign table via Design Sponge.

And Everything LEB showed off these fun gold tipped legs on a hall table.

This was a fairly easy project because I didn't need to run out and buy anything.  I had some gold paint leftover from a princess treasure chest I made for a friend's daughter a couple of years ago.

I taped off the legs.

And painted them.

After pulling off the tape, I was done.  Here's a reminder of the before.

And the after.  She's just a little saucier.  I thought I'd give you another shot of her back since so many readers loved the corset detailing.

Thanks for popping in and painting with me.
