Eglomise (pronounced: egg-lo-miz-eh) is an ancient art dating back to classical Rome. Also called by its French term, verre églomisé, is essentially reverse painted and gilded glass used in everything from paperweights to casegoods, to glass panel walls to ceilings. I have one word for it - BEA-U-TI-FUL!
Eglomise is so fabulous in a dining room! Just look at this gorgeous space by Melanie Turner for a recent showhouse. Then I saw the dining room (below) designed by Chad Eisner of Venice, California in Veranda (December 2011), I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Major swoon worthy! No wonder eglomise is everywhere lately considering how it radically pumps up the glam factor in any space.

Sterling Studios posted a series of photos on the eglomise process from painting the design on the glass to the application of gilding and burnishing the results.

Try Thibaut's wallpaper version to get the effect without the high cost.
I'm crazy about the metallic silver on aqua! Would love to do the half bath off my kitchen in this wallpaper and then hang the massive gilded mirror in my basement that is looking for a place in my home!
Have a gorgeous day today!
