Design Details: Gold Edging

I’m all about gold accent these days and love how a touch of gold can turn an ordinary item into something chic and über stylish.
I’m sure you’ve all seen this DIY project floating around blog land where a simple picture frame is updated with gold corner accents.  Who would have thought that such an easy project would yield such stylish results.

Here’s what the gold accent looks like on black frames.

How about this simple update, gold corner details added to a piece of furniture?

You can find my source for metal corner pieces in this post.
I’m also loving this idea of painting the page edge of thrift store books and turning them into a glamorous decorative accent.

How about detailing out the inner rim of a paneled door with gold paint?   Pretty fab!

I also love the look of a gold edge on a piece of furniture.  Emily over at Emily A. Clark transformed this table first by painting it black and then my adding a gold edge.  Stunning!

This metal bamboo table looks so much more expensive and high-end with a gold finish!

And how about the idea of up-styling your stationery or even your business cards?  I’m so going to do this with my business cards.

So what do you think?  Do you love a touch of gold as much as I do?
One thing I’ve learned in my years in design is that it is the little details that really make design come to life!

    Gold seems to not only add a bit of chic to things, but seems to make everything more finished. At least my humble opinion.
