Gold leafing is a great way to enhance a space, bring sparkle to a dark corner, makes your face glow above a dining table or transformed a dull piece of furniture. It definitely adds a touch of glam to a decor. Gilding is done with very thin square leaves of silver, copper or gold applied by hand one after the other. You use a tacky glue for them to stick and the trick is to apply them perfectly square onto a flat surface or distresses depending on the look you are going for. Please make sure you go to the gold leafing page to see examples of before and after pictures of how it can transform your space of a piece of furniture.
