Metallic Mania!
That’s what I’m calling it.
I have a crazy, gorgeous, over-the-top, metallic paint makeover for you today.
My painting pals got together and decided March was the month for Metallic Themed Furniture.
And I’m fine with that because I love using metallic paint….especially metallic silver paint.
Isn’t she a beauty.
I know.
Patting myself on the back again.
I’m good at that 
The table came from My Favorite Junk Shop.
I got a little playful this time.
Polka dots are such fun.
I tried to get just the right number with out overdoing it.
I also played up the flaws in the table.
The inspiration for this project came from a scrap board that I use when spray painting hardware.
At one time I spray painted something a dark brown…….. then another time I painted some round knobs with metallic silver spray paint…..and that’s what caused the brown circles.
Every time I walked by that board in the workshop, it caught my eye.
So this table was the guinea pig for the metallic paint and polka dots.
I paired it with my favorite chair and a shiny coffee urn filled with greenery and flowers (fake) for the photo shoot.
The urn also came from My Favorite Junk Shop and only cost $5.
$5 seems to be my magic number these days.
I plan to post a full tutorial with all the paint details next week.

Hello. Love the table! Curious, did you lightly sand and prime before painting it? Did you use. Martha Stewart metallic paints? (Love them!)
Thanks for any info.
