I have decided to ask for assistance from fellow bloggers. I would love to read what you would do with this piece if you had it. Would you leave it alone or paint it or perhaps paint it in "real colors". Like the leaves green, the flowers in color, the stems in brown etc. Please help. I do love this piece but don't have the "perfect place" to put it. Something needs to be done.
I am anxiously awaiting your replys.

What a great piece! I love the birds and naturalistic look. Is it for candles?
ReplyDeleteI'd def paint it in distressed white or offwhite(I guess flat white then some antiqued stain to bring the white down?)
I'd use chunky votive candles, white/ vanilla scent...maybe in my bedroom, tho if I had a big bathroom, I might use it there.
The orig metal, brass, is nice too, if you decide to keep it as is....
Can't wait to see what you decide. Neat find!

I would paint it white or offwhite and also distress it. It is beautiful and I know with your abilities, you will do exactly the right thing with it. Have fun while doing whatever you decide. Please post a picture on your blog when it is done. Hope all is well with you. Think of you often.
ReplyDeleteI like the off- white distressed idea too. I'm so jealous of your find! I know you will do magic with it.
ReplyDeleteWow this is just fabulous and yes I love the birds. Shabby creamy dreamy white is my choice but will it hang on a white wall? If you leave it gold how about some verdi gris to enhance it? What ever you decide to do it will be stunning and quite the find. Happy creating...
