    Faux Brass Capped Feet (A.K.A Ferrules and Sabots)

    Here’s a quick little project that adds a little pop to your furniture.

    You may have noticed in the red buffet makeover, that the feet of said buffet were sporting a little touch of metal.

    You see, I have this thing for metal feet on furniture. Once I saw brass feet on the vintage chair for Grunt Labor that now sits in our living room, it was a done deal.

    I’m takin’ it home, baby.

    I’m sure you could buy these brass caps, also known as ferrules and sabots (look at me breaking out the big words – crazy what you learn as a blogger!), but I don’t know where and I did a version of it myself anyway.

    Here’s how I made my faux brass capped feet.

    After painting the buffet, I simply wrapped FrogTape around each foot of the buffet. I measured the chair I already had with brass capped feet to get an idea of how far up to go. I put the tape on at 1 1/4 inches up.

    And yes, that floor is dirty.

    And yes, those cords are a hot mess.

    Just keepin’ it real.

    Remove the tape and you have brass capped feet.
