Anyone who knows me is aware of my Glitter Obsession/Dependancy (I justify my obsession because of my theatre/dance background, as well as having raised very girly daughters). I’m sure my very tolerant friends will not be the least bit surprised at my latest finds.
When staging a home, a tiny touch of glam is a good thing in a room. While layering textures and colours, something shiny, metallic, or iridescent can both draw the eye and reflect light. I recently encountered two products which can add a bit of bling without being overbearing.
The first product is “Valspar Signature Paint Crystals” (available at Lowes). These fantastic crystals add a subtle sparkle when mixed with paint. The uses are endless- from smaller projects such as a lamp or picture frame to a whole feature wall in a child’s bedroom! Valspar even makes Color Flakes, which add glitz when refinishing a counter or floor, creating a granite-like finish.
The second product I am obsessed with is “Crystal Glass Grout” by STAINMASTER™. This is a translucent grout comprised of tiny glass beads, which filter light. This grout can add further sparkle and depth to to an already glamorous back splash, but I have also seen it used with very plain tiles to add that glitz without purchasing expensive accent tiles.
Fortunately for me, both of these products are available at Lowes! Unfortunately for my husband Claude, I now have another project to keep me busy through the winter season!
Happy Glittering!
