Perhaps it’s because St. Paddy’s day is right around the bend, and I can’t stop thinking about that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Maybe it’s because winter here has been sooo cold and icy that I can’t get that tune from The Sound of Music out of my head: “Silver-white winters that melt into spring…” Who knows how it started? But the fact really is, I’ve got precious metals on the brain.
And I’m not the only one! Metal and faux metal finishes have been showing up all over blogland. There’s a chance that gold and silver leaf just may beat out chalkboard for faux finish of the year in 2013. (Totally kidding–I made up that statistic! But you never know, right?) Gold and silver aren’t the only metals at this party, either. Zinc, bronze, and galvanized steel are moving in on the scene, too. Take a look at the examples below and be inspired!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing off my Fish Scale Wall!!
Holy Cow! I LOVE that wall, totally amazing! Great job!
Thank you so very much!
hi Justin and Cassity, thanks for featuring my Silver Metallic Nightstand. It was a fun project. I’m going to do another next week. I”m thinking a different metallic color or maybe a mixture!
I am sure it will be fabulous!!!
I absolutely love the metallic! It gives such a nice look to the room. As a Custom Cabinet Designer, I have seen plenty of….interesting home design methods, but you don’t see too many people using silvers and golds. Very nice, I may have to try doing a metallic cabinet base. 🙂

So many great gilded projects! I absolutely swoon over the gold tile mosaic. I’ve seen the golden versions of IKEA’s Vittsjo etageres and am making a trip to IKEA in a few weeks. I’m going to try it out in its natural state of black first, since my living room is white and black, but gold or a bright color could be in its future too!
