With a basic understanding of the gilding technique and a willingness to experiment, you can transform any conceivable object into one of refined beauty, style, and elegance. Surround yourself with gilded frames, paper, boxes, wearables, house-and-home items, dining-room fixtures, and furniture. It's simple to do. All you need is a bit of patience, the right materials, a few easy-to-use tools, and the inspiration of this book. Before long, discarded attic items and flea-market throwaways will be seen in a whole new light -- or at least in a golden tint.
Surround your photographs with a small oval frame that's every bit as beautiful as the picture inside it.
Turn a flea-market lamp into the focal point of a room, with mounted gold leaves on both base and shade.
Use silver or copper to transform an ordinary footstool into one that has a worn, used look -- perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Astound your dinner guests with plates accented in gold, copper or silver.
