If you love the silvery look of mercury glass, you will be relieved to know that you don’t have to pay big bucks for the real deal.
Like Jennifer from Decorated Chaos shows, a spray bottle of vinegar and water and Krylon’s Looking Glass spray paint are all you need to pull off the same finish.
Jennifer used this technique to turn a glass lamp from the thrift store into this beauty!
Jennifer was inspired by the Mercury Glass Table Lamp from Pottery Barn.
