Eureka!
All that glitters isn’t gold, but then gold isn’t always glittery either. Sometimes gold is a gorgeous, rich, lush, metallic. Just shiny enough to let you know it is a luxury item, and worth taking note of.
Recently I had the opportunity to try out the new Matte Metallic paints from Modern Masters. Being a California native, (and Northern California at that), I chose the color Gold Rush.
From my first brush stroke of Gold Rush, I knew I had found the Motherlode in gorgeous, luxe color. I have been loving all the rich metallic paint projects I have seen around the blogosphere lately. I was thrilled to be able to try out a new color from one of my favorite paint companies.
Of course, I had to find the right project. This French Provencial Dresser and Nightstand were the perfect specimens, diamonds in the rough, or just needing to be refined, (gold speak).
I did a thorough cleaning, a light sanding, and I was on my way to a gorgeous finish. I painted three coats of Modern Masters Gold Rush for complete coverage.
Although the Gold Rush Color itself is gorgeous, I can never leave anything unadorned. I decided to layer two tones of glaze over my pieces that I tinted with Modern Masters colorants. I used Tobacco Brown, followed by Coffee Bean.I also used the Coffee Bean colorant to darken the hardware, as I had shown in THIS post.
My Gold Rush Matte Metallic pieces are heading down to Paris Flea Market where they will be for sale at our next September sale.Gold is a valuable commodity, luckily I have enough Gold Rush Matte Metallic leftover do paint another project! Since a little gold can go a long way, I was thrilled that a little Gold Rush Modern Masters paint goes a long way too.
I can’t wait to try out more of the new Matte Metallic collection from Modern Masters.
My Gold is shimmering and showing off at these fancy parties this week:

Beautiful! Very nice work!
WOW! That is stunning!
Love the color. Me thinks it will be a late night in a few weeks.
Beautiful! Going to be giving this product a try.
Purdy awesome stuff !! You struck gold again !
I never would have thought I would like this, after hearing it was gold. But, WOW, this came out beautiful. You are truly a master of your craft Karen!!!
Wow! That is amazing, I love gold and as far as I’m concerned one can never have enough! this dresser is just stunning!
I’m completely smitten. I LOVE it!
My Grandmother was a gold freak! Loved to paint everything with gold and I always thought that I hated it but the older I get the more I appreciate the color. Really like what you’ve done!!
I’ve seen dressers done in lots of other ways, but this is a first for gold. Love it.
Such a show stopper! Thanx for joining THT Karen!
I have this EXACT same dresser and I painted it RED please come see:) Love yours!
Lovely in gold. Thanks for sharing at Silver Pennies Sundays. x
That color is GORGEOUS! I need to check out that paint. I’m featuring it in the PoPP Spotlight this week. Thanks for linking up.
This came out gorgeous! I want to try it in silver…..
Insert Wolf Whistle HERE!
Cool that it was featured at POP,
but should have been #1!

Hello. Love the piece you did and the added glazing looks beautiful! I noticed you did not prime this piece. I am wondering why you did not feel the need to prime and how it is holding up. Does it have execellent adhesion that primer is not necessary? It would be nice to leave that step out if possible, but a little nervous. I would like to use this paint on a customers piece as opposed to the lacquer product I typically use, which does require pieces to be primed. Any feedback is appreciated!

thanks again for letting me show your work!
Just fabulous! What a showstopping piece you have here. Question for you: do these pieces have a laminate top? If so, do you have a favorite primer for such pieces. Thanks so much!
