I’ve been talking quite a bit about metallic love lately, and it’s not only glamorous but organic. Gold comes from the earth, so no surprise there! Having just come back from the city of cities for shopping and walking all the way from past the Metropolitan Museum of Art over the bridge into Brooklyn (disclaimer alert…in 2 days, not one) I had plenty of time to window shop the trends. Yes, window shop is the operative slogan because I didn’t buy a thing, other than food! But I did see lots of metallics and that included gold in every shop from Crate and Barrel (where I attended a private event) to the tiniest shop in Chinatown. Organic looks in home furnishing were everywhere and on everything from tables like the one above with the appearance of a geode to mirrors made of wood slices. As for gold, it’s easy to DIY small projects to add to your home and today I’m sharing some that I’ve rounded up for you…
