I like thrifting and antiquing videos because y’know, I’m an antique collector. I just watched a video of a woman cover a black glass art deco vase with MATTE WHITE SPRAY PAINT. I’m tearing my hair out. Even though she didn’t show us the makers mark or anything I’m fairly sure it was authentic, if it was a replica then it was a beautiful piece on its own. I hate DIYers so much like I get needing to repair or refurbish pieces that are in poor condition but in what world is it more economical, practical or satisfying to spray paint an 80 year old glass vase than to buy the stupid $12 Home Goods ceramic porcelain vase you wanted in the first place. Black glass is so fucking beautiful. This generation’s obsession with beiges and earth tones and matte textures has me biting and writhing and foaming at the mouth.
Had to take a moment while internally freaking out about it bc I was so ready to waste all my keys on trying to get him and he came home like he was standing at my door just waiting for me to open it and greet him.
