Guest Picks: Loving Lacquer

If it comes to adding a punch of whimsical freshness to any room in the home, you can not beat lacquer. From the French term lacre, meaning”a kind of sealing wax,” lacquer is a phrase for a very clear or colored tough, durable finish that can vary from a subtle sheen to a high gloss. White, glowing and everything in between, lacquer adds a hint of glow to everything around it. — Kristy And Beth in My Design Chic
