Touches of Gold

I have some really REALLY fun news to share...I won a giveaway right before Christmas from Jessie at Mix and Chic for an e-design.  Super exciting, right?! I chose to get help with my living room, so I've been working with Jessie to come up with ways to add more color, patterns and style to the room.  She's been wonderful to work with, and it's been so fun!  She has completed her final moodboards for the area, and of course I'll be sharing all of the changes and additions to the room right here on my blog!  I'm ready to get started on the room as soon as I can.  Thanks again to Jessie for this awesome experience!!! 

When Jessie was putting the final touches and accessories on the moodboards, she suggested that adding gold would be the perfect way to finish off the room and add some sophistication.  I could not agree more.

On that note, here are some great rooms that have the perfect touches of gold in my opinion (all pictures found through pinterest).





If you would love adding your own touches of gold to your home decor, you HAVE to go check out this fabulous mirror from Peru at A DOSE OF PRETTY and enter for your chance to win it. 


I think it's absolutely gorgeous, and it's so generous of her to want to share it with one of us.

Looking forward to sharing more of my living room makeover with all of you very soon!

  13. I love the open glass cabinets from the pic you got from My First Little Place. Plus that tiny rim of gold lining the lamp really does make that image pop. Beautiful!
