So... recently {and by that I mean this week} I am swooning over GOLD. I want some in every room.... It's a sickness! I went through 2 cans of metallic GOLD spray paint in 1 DAY!
*****
I started small... birds and tins and tea towels.

Then I got a teeny bit bolder with mirrors and picture frames...

Then I remembered the great corner chair in my closet. Remember the one that Cooner picked up for me last year?? She came home with me brown, then I painted her white and distressed her... Finally.... I taped her off and she got a dusting of gold.
*****
Then I found a great vintage {sorta old lady print} that I of course LOVED! It fell right into my current favorite color palate of GOLD, peachy/pink, and mint green {gasp}. I know.... I have been running from these 3 since Cooner showed me her wedding photos and these 3 amigos were her wedding colors- YIKES! {and yes that's a box fan in the background- it's stifling down here in the south right now!}
*****
But.. in the end. I ADORE my chair and her corner style even more. Although I must say re-upholstering is not my favorite thing. And I do NOT have another chair re-do in my immediate future... But.... it was SO worth the blood, sweat, and tears!! And I shopped my attic and found this little side table {Prissy bought it for me 2 year ago out treasure hunting with Cooner}. It's the perfect compliment just like her!!

Moral to the story-
#1 it's cheaper to diy but it could kill you
#2 gold is the new black- every room need a touch of it!
