Go Wild : FUR

Now that you've decided to go for glam, Hollywood Regency style Home Decor, nothing fits the bill more than fur accents.
Get your wild side out & include some fur accents in your decor. For starters, you get faux sheep skin at ikea for $ 10. You can throw it on a chair or couch.
You can make some great DIY stools, vanity stools etc with some faux fur. Below are some inspirations
























Or May be, add some FEATHERS & animal prints for a decor that screams (repeat with me) GLAM

Gold Spray Paint : DIYer best friend

So if you've decided to go glam in your decor Gold & Silver Metallic finishes are your best friends.
Metallic touches around the home act like jewelry. You don't wanna overdo it, you don't wanna skimp on it. The key is to strike a balance.
You can achieve a metallic look with some easy DIYs using a variety of products, like rub & buff, metallic paints, silver/gold leafs, silver/gold leaf liquid paints, Leafing pen, etc. I'll take you through the technique of each one on  the journey of this blog.
But I must admit my best friend among all of these is Metallic gold Spray paint. There are various brands available in the market like Krylon, Design, Rustoleum, Valspar. All are good & are available in different shades & sheen. I think Rustoleum is the sparkliest of all.
Below is the compilation of some amazing Gold spray paint project inspiration.
