Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with all things gold-dipped. That touch of gold adds just enough glamour – transforming an ordinary object into something fabulous. The best part? Many times it’s a simple DIY project!

Here are a few of my faves… enjoy!

1. DIY gold-and-glitter dipped feathers; Ryan Michelle & Ellie Mae | 2. faux deer head with gold antlers; mahzerandvee (Etsy) | 3. gold-dipped flatware; Anthropologie | 4. DIY table with gold-dipped legs; designsponge | 5. DIY gold-tipped baby mary janes; le zoe musings | 6. DIY gold-tipped bowls; vitamini handmade

Any gold-dipped items you’re currently coveting?

Ciao for Now,

Dove Decor

I absolutely love this little guy! The white ceramic finish is so minimalistic, but the little gold tip on the tail adds the perfect little bit of glam. Oh Sugar (as my grandma would say), I think I’m going to have to buy it…

Baby Booties

Okay, so we know that I have a thing with triangles, and right now I definitely have baby on the brain (due in 6 days!). Considering all this, you can see why I’m obsessed with these baby booties. They are absolutely adorable… and reversible to boot (ha ha, get it).

DAINTY JEWELS

There’s something so chic about dainty jewelry. Case in point, this gorgeous little gold and emerald ring. Definitely on my wish list (well, once the swelling in my hands goes down… ah the joys of pregnancy!).

Table setting

I came across this gorgeous table setting, and it was love at first sight. Between the gold flatware and the peach tones in the dishes, I was mesmerized. (See more about my gold and peach obsessions here, here and here). Such a great place setting for a summer brunch.

I’m so excited to spend some quality time with my family tomorrow and enjoy an Easter feast! Not known to be the best cook in the family, I’m always responsible for setting the table.

This year I’m going for a chic, rustic, vintage vibe. Here’s what I’m thinking…

I love the look of this fringed linen napkin with the aged silverware

This table runner has an abstract print that gives it a modern feel, but the burlap base keeps it looking rustic.

Something about Easter always makes me want to combine pink and blue. These blue serving utensils will look lovely popped against the pink in the table runner!

Keeping with the vintage/rustic theme… I absolutely LOVE this pink waffle depression glass stemware!

How great is this dinnerware? It definitely helps to tie in the pink and blue color scheme.

Lastly, so as not to upset my grandmother… a little traditional easter decor

I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited about the Olympics starting today. I get so sucked in (sometimes too much and I stay up way past my bed-time and hate myself in the morning). In any case, I wanted to wish Team USA (and all the other countries :)) good luck, and am dedicating this post to them.

As for the rest of us who aren’t so athletically gifted, I offer you a way to go for gold anytime.

Let the games begin!
