Tee-hee. Yes, I'm going through your older posts now. Just wanted to chime in and say that I have that lamp. It's a Martha Stewart gem from KMart SEVERAL years ago. Maybe it's time for an update!

Great job! I love it!

Oh, that's beautiful! I love silver leaf. I've tried to replicate the look with other finishes like spray paint, but nothing comes close to the real thing.

Me again. Woops. I forgot to say that when I opened up this link I saw your blog banner and realized it was one of several that I sent to my daughter as inspiration or direction for her as she was designing my new banner. I really liked yours. Clean but whimsical.

Very pretty. I have wanted to give this a try and I have the leaf but I am very visual and it was great to see how it worked out here first. Thanks for sharing.

Love how your lamp turned out. I did the same thing with a thrift store lamp too- isn't silver leaf fun to work with?
Check out what I did:

This looks great. I have never used silver leaf on anything, but I was THISCLOSE to buying some this week to try out. This is a great inspiration. I can't wait to find something to put it on now :)

I just love using leafing! I have done several ceilings and one bathroom all in leaf! Expensive to buy... but so pretty! Have you seen some of the new faux finishing foils? You can google "Gary Lord" or "Melanie Royals" and the word "foil". They are basically patterned leafs in a roll. Someone was a genius! Stop by my blog sometime! Great job!
