Rub N Buff is a paste type substance with a unique blend of Carnauba wax, fine metallic powders and many unique and select pigments. It is a great alternative to spray paints, and a little definitely goes a long way. It comes in 9 different shades including Antique Gold, Autumn Gold, Ebony, European Gold, Gold Leaf, Grecian Gold, Pewter, Silver Leaf, and Spanish Copper. It comes in a small 1/2 oz tube, but believe me, a little goes a long way.

Over the past couple of months I have been searching for some new light fixtures for the sides of my bed. We currently have some wall lamps on both sides of the bed.
