Be Inspired No. 13.1 - The Coolness of Zinc Part II

Last year at this time I wrote a blog entry about the coolness of zinc.  (Be Inspired No. 13 - The Coolness of Zinc)  Let me introduce to you The Coolness of Zinc No. 13.1 because it is still cool!

I am inspired by the faux paint technique that keeps the zinc's coolness.  Though I love the real thing, but the faux is so good that sometimes you have to tap it to see if it is real or faux, it's that good.

This faux zinc wall is kick butt!

Love the nod to feminine!

Dining with books, zinc, and crystals!

How soothing a color palette that gives tribute to the hues of zinc can be.  What a soft way to introduce the coolness of zinc to a room.

Again, zinc-inspired color palette, lovely!

Be Inspired No. 13 - The Coolness of Zinc

I'm inspired by the coolness of zinc. This chemical element of atomic number 30, a silvery-white metal is a constituent of brass and is used for coating (galvanizing) iron and steel to protect against corrosion. (That's for my geekish readers.) All I know?.... This is where cool is.

Loving the zinc-top vanity for a coastal home.

Hello gorgeous! This vintage French zinc horse head originally hung outside a blacksmith shop. Circa 1920.

Not only loving the roof lines of this French image but the zinc rooftops capture the light like no other. 

Vintage French zinc rooftop finials...in love!

What a combination:  zinc top dining table, mix of chair styles, sisal rug!

And for sharing the coolness of zinc - gift tags!
