Not until my thirties did I appreciate the true genius of a little gold in a room. Since I like my cool tones and beachy decor, gold can add a luxury and warmth that can be missing in all the grays and blues. Vintaged or shiny, you can't go wrong, and the bonus? It doesn't have to be expensive, or real...we won't tell. Most accessories can be picked up for a steal at Target and TJmaxx. So add a little luxe to your space, you'll be surprised at what you find.
