Okay so I have a slight obsession with shiny metallic gold things, and when I saw these, I wanted them very much (but had absolutely no need for them):
And guess what. Today I came across a Martha Stewart tutorial to get the same gilded glass effect. Yay! It's not as shiny looking as the one in the photo, but I'm not complaining. Bookmarking it as a holiday project. I need time to work on my assignment for now. :-)
