Yes….gold….wait GOLD?! Oh no….for everyone who knows me I CANNOT stand GOLD! I have no clue why, or what started this hatred for gold for so many years, but whatever it was seems to have lifted. Maybe age plays a key role? Who knows! I blame the gorgeous Michael Kors bag I purchased with gold accents (fav bag for sure), anywho…on to gold…I wanted to make a statement in my bathroom. Something I had never seen before, something that popped, one of those double take reactions you see in the movies! I think I succeeded since I still have to do a double take, more of a “what was I thinking!?”

So I began to think, I wanted a sophisticated bathroom, what comes to mind when you see that word? Yep, your right GOLD! There is is again! When I bought my condo the walls were a (in my opinion) horrendous desert color scheme of burgundy and an odd orange, this does not fit my style so it HAD to go!

So my other bone to pick with gold is who knew there were so many different shades! So I had to make sure whatever I used matched the rest of my colors that I couldn’t change (flooring, countertops, backsplash, etc) Which brings me to this….

Yep….that is a wine bottle wrapper…true story! Found my paint sample!

So after the years of hatred I had towards gold…the final product turned out pretty amazing!

Did I mention how spendy this gold paint can be?!

Here we go!!

It took about 2-3 coats to get a good solid color;

But it turned out amazing!

I just love these towels! They really tie in the colors, and you can forget about my scentsy!

Of course this is still a work in progress, but one of my favorite “final” touches is this;

Ooh la la !
