I may have a problem. I may or may not be addicted to “golding” things. Here’s the deal with today’s project. I felt the need to bust out some gold embellished bud vases for a party I am hosting soon. While the summer bash is not until August, things move very slowly over here during the summer months. I figured I better get a jump on my little list of party details. First up are these fun diy gold vases. I have always served the kiddos yogurt parfaits in these and suddenly I couldn’t help myself from giving them some gold bling. … budvase   This idea is certainly not new. In fact, my girls, Cassie and Chelsea paved the way long before me. hi sugarplum gold striped vaseDIY gold vertical striped vase Their projects are just gorgeous and inspired me. You really must go check them out. My party will be mostly outside with a very casual vibe. Because of that, I have to toss in a little bit of gold glamor! brassstripedvase   This could not be easier and took all of five minutes. Tape of the vases or glasses any way you see fit. Just be sure to press down with a good amount of pressure so the paint does not seep through. These only took one coat.

They make me so happy. I just love being able to walk outside and cut fresh roses. My grandma always had a beautiful rose garden as well as my parents. It just seems “normal” for us to have roses in our yard. I am very thankful for the cheery blooms right now. goldstripedvase   … goldstripes   goldvaseshouse   … vaseontray For details on how to turn a frame into a fun tray, you can go here. … goldvaseontable So until party time, I am enjoying these pretty, feminine vases around the house.  So one party item has been checked off of my list.

  7. Love! Had a quick question. We recently swapped out our lamps in our family room, but I kept the shades (didn't like the ones that came with the new Home Good finds). However, like you they have been bugging me because they blend into the wall color. I started adding some black gross grain trim, but am find it bowing if I only glue in two spots like you did. I am beginning to wonder if I needed to use a bit wider ribbon. Any thoughts? Does your ribbon gap at all?

  9. Love this! I finally bought some gold spray paint and can't wait to use it. Maybe some of those old basic vases from our wedding will get the Midas Touch! I wonder if you've tried rub n' buff on glass though? Spray paint can be such a pain to use in the humid summer weather.
