Shiny Stuff!

I've always been drawn to metallic finishes and especially love how they almost instantly transform a mediocre room into a dazzling space. My favorite metallics are golds and silvers, though most people tend to reserve these only for the holidays. I say, keep them around all year long! If you choose the right metallic pieces and don't go overboard, gold and silver can be your perennial decorating dynamites.
Remember, you don't necessarily have to choose one or the other; mix them together. This keeps the room from looking too stuffy and boring. Try it, I think you'll love the pop of excitement that silvers and golds can bring to your home!
Here are some inspirational rooms to get you going:
