What is this phenomenon of which I speak?

Why, paint dipping of course.
In my opinion, this works best when the "dipped" to "undipped" ratio is about 1:4 (2:3 also works), as this does not visually break up the piece of furniture too much.

And its not just furniture folks. We're talking everyday household items too.

Fourth of July style anyone?

Don't get me wrong-- this certainly a great way of sprucing up or perhaps injecting a bit of personality into a piece of furniture, however I believe this one fits squarely into the "burn bright burn fast" camp.
Of course I could just be a dipstick (see what I did there?) for dismissing this to the fad pile. Who knows? Maybe we will be seeing this effect for years to come.
For now, just enjoy the view.

What do you think about paint dipped furniture?

I also love the dipped look, especially the gold stems. So chic :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed, very clever! Although I do wonder how the glasses hold up with washing...
