I know this is what you've all been waiting for...
The Glitter wall!!
How awesome is it?
I love it so much. It's mesmerizing.
When Nick picked up the can of Craig & Rose Gold Glitter Glaze
I was worried my worst fears had been confirmed...
(that Nick has Elton John, homosexual tendencies...)
But this glitter is so pretty I don't care!
Even if it looks like we hired Tinkerbell as our interior designer!!
I tried to capture it in different lights for the full affect.
My favorite is when there is just a dim light in the room.
It makes the whole room feel like its glowing.
Do you want to glitter a wall in your house now? I bet you do!
Here are a few tips from your resident glitter expert (me)
- The instructions said, use a foam roller. I did not. But I should have. Follow directions! I used a regular roller, and it turned out blotchy.
- Because no one wants blotchy glitter, if you screw this up like me use a paint brush in haphazard crisscross strokes to achieve a better all over glittery finish.
- If you're not lazy just use a brush for the whole wall. This worked best.
- Test your glitter out in different lights and different times of day. This will reveal patchiness where you need to add more glitter!
Do you love it? I love it.
