Hi y’all! I’m Lindsay from The White Buffalo Styling Co. and I’m so excited to be back here sharing my five steps to creating a faux copper table…that looks real!

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving this new copper trend. I suddenly have the urge to turn everything copper. I’ve been craving some copper furniture, but ran into a couple of problems.

First I thought of using copper pipe to make some furniture. This is such a great idea and so many bloggers have created some amazing things from copper pipe. But it was a little pricier than I was hoping.

I like things cheap. Like, really cheap.

I tried some different copper spray paints, but they felt like painted copper. I was hoping for a real look from paint. I know, that’s not really how it works. But I was hopeful, nonetheless.

Well, I kept my promise. I was able to completely transform my daughter’s serene nursery into the bold and colorful bedroom that reflects her personality, all without ever touching a paint brush to the walls. If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ll know that that sort of promise makes me all twitchy, like a drug addict looking for her next hit. But, I did it.

Emma’s nursery was a sweet little room for a sweet little baby. I put a lot of time into making sure it stayed soft and neutral. I had it in my brain that this would help her sleep well. I have no idea if my theory is based in any real science, but I do know that I could put her in her bed awake and she’d put herself to sleep. I credit my genius wall color choices.

My sweet little baby has turned into a creative, hilarious, brilliant, and beautiful 3 1/2 year old little girl. Her room needed some color, so I set out to make it happen – without painting the walls.
