out with the old in with the GOLD!

i can't speak for all of us, but in my opinion stainless steel and brushed nickel have seen better days. they have been a mainstay for years in kitchens and bathrooms alike. personally, i'm ready for something new, something bold, and something gold!

i love how the gold accents really warm up this living room.

this kitchen actually has a mixture of both stainless steel and brass. they actually work really well together so don't feel like you have to ditch all your stainless stuff for gold. you can easily incorporate the new with the old.

this bathroom is gorgeously outfitted in a color scheme of gold and white. the gold mosaic tile looks beatiful paired with the metal base vanity.

call me wierd, but i'm a sucker for hammered metals. these hammered gold pendants really pop against the palette of white. sometimes simplicity is the best.

if you aren't quite ready to take a giant leap into the world of gold maybe it's best to take a baby step by purchasing gorgeous gold silverware.

i never tire of an intricate antique guilded mirror. they are a classic and work in contemporary spaces as well as traditional.
