A Non-Committal Way to get Gold Tips

No...I'm not speaking about ombre hair or press-on nails, I mean gold tipped legs on furniture.

 

As you know, my kitchen table has gold-tipped legs.  I used the ole painters tape and paint method for these, since I was 100% committed to changing up how that piece of furniture looked.  You may also have noticed that my bentwood chair has gilded feet as well.

Ever since I can rememeber, I've wanted bentwood dining room chairs, and I've wanted the ones that bend kind-of into a heart-shaped back.  They remind me of an Italian/Sicilian gelato and cannoli place I used to visit in New Orleans.  Over the years of garage sailing, I've picked up two pairs of bentwood chairs.  Two have a "heart" back, while two just have a curve.  Fair enough.  One, apparently, was the "glue chair"(so it is written in sharpie on the bottom)....whatever that means...

Way back when I was having new flooring installed, I moved most furniture upstairs, and have yet to move the other three chairs downstairs again.  Its not like I can sit in three chairs at once.

Anyways, I've seen all these fun colorful bentwood chairs on pinterest...

...but never felt committed enough to actually paint my little chairs, and now that I have a colored table, I'm even more hesitant...but I wanted to give them some personality.  Enter this fun stuff:

 

 

WASHI TAPE!!

 

wrap wrap wrap around each very worn foot...

 

 

And you've got an easily removable, non-commital, but ultra cool chair.  You might want to be more careful that I was and try to keep the tape from getting bunchy, especially if you have people inspecting your chair legs.
