Zinc again...

The charm of a zinc finish has captured me! Or, maybe Greige has channeled my focus onto the beauty of simplicity.

These wall panels with the whitewashed zinc finish- so elegant.

Here, both the niche and sliding doors are created out of zinc, forming a beautifully rough backdrop.

Of course, the classic French flower pots of zinc:

Zinc: in and out

This is the time of year that I am especially drawn to zinc. It is a natural for the garden.
 The zinc top on wood legs- such character.

 Of  course, the garden planters are classic. Because zinc will get hot in the sun, zinc patina finishes are often used to replicate the zinc patina, as I did here.

I also like zinc finishes inside the home.

Isn't this a fun mirror? It is created with various pieces of weathered zinc.

Zinc resists corrosion and has an ultra low toxicity. Over 80% of available zinc is recycled. **

Zinc whitewash look

 

This outdoor garden set started out with chipped and peeling, ugly brown paint. After they were sandblasted and a metal primer was applied, I gave them the kind of finish that they deserved! This whitewashed zinc look is one of my more popular requests.

A custom mix of charcoal gray paint was applied with two coats, followed by my whitewash / pickling glaze. The topcoat followed.

Aren't they fabulous? The client loved them....
