I love this! It would look good with my newly painted red wall. I would start out with a small project first to see if I can get the same effect. :)

Back in the 1970's I took ceramics. I painted a "I Dream of Jennie" vase that was zinc colored which I had completely forgot about until this post. The zinc look is fabulous looking.

I loved this intorduction to zinc and then it's budget friendly alternative. I'd love to see it in more rooms as a design element.

Those two words "faux finish" just makes me cringe... I'm particularly thinking of my first flat's hallway in the UK which I painstakingly ragrolled in 2001, innocently thinking it was actually still in style (looking back, I don't think it was). Trading Spaces/Changing Rooms, I blame you!

Having said that, this is actually kind of wonderful. And I REALLY think it's wonderful you are doing this series! Can't wait to see what's coming next...

That is really beautiful! Wow..... This doesn't mean sponging is making a comeback???

That's great. I think it might work really well on photo frames. They're small enough for my patience!

Thank you so much for featuring my tutorial, Stefanie! It's cool to be the first post in your "Steal This Idea" feature, too. Thanks for your sweet words. And, I completely agree with you when it comes to faux finishes! (This is the only faux anything that will ever live here...unless I zinc something else...small.)

Thank you!

I'm with you completely about the faux finishes. This is a great one though. I have a client who wants a zinc dining table but it's out of the price range. I just may steal this idea and see what it would look like on a table.

Ooooh, girl, I love the look and think the idea of having a 'steal/borrow' feature is neat!!! Be sure you put a sidebar or some connecting place for us to "go to" when we want only to search for this feature!!

That is a super rad idea. I'm generally not into faux finishes either, but this looks amazing. If only mine would come out that professional looking. It might be cool on just a table top. If you can handle that evil painted newel post of yours or all the "stumpy" sanding you could handle it!!

What a cool idea!

2010-08-13T11:40:23.465-04:00

What a cool idea!
