Update! I am still totally in love with gold! I thought that maybe I was leaving my go-to-gold-and-gray color palette for my new lover chrome-and-camel, and, don’t get me wrong, C & C is totally my boyfriend on the side but Gold remains my long term love. We’re soul cell mates as my husband likes to say. How was my burning desire for gold rekindled you ask? I’m pretty sure it was the exact second I saw this puppy:
What is wrong with this picture? Yeah, that’s right: Nothing. This example of walking / talking perfection comes from the design duo meier / ferrer
While this is most certainly enough to rekindle a waning romance, I knew my love was never really gone since I can’t seem to get this light out of my head:
The Sciolari ceiling light in Kelly Wearstler’s own home is nothing short of amazeballz. I have a few personal spaces I’m working on right now and I want this light for all of them.
I will also be willing to settle for this gold gem. (BTW thank you Andrea for the find!)
Although I think I’m going to have to forego the $4500 light and spring for something more like this. It’s gold, I’ll be fine.
Oh! I’ll especially be fine if it looks like this. See, I really just will never get over gold. And it is with every fiber of my being that I say: Yes, I absolutely would 100% live here:
Yep. All over it.

I blogged about the egg-xact same console table today too! That beauty is making the rounds this week!
that console table + those floors = masterpiece
I’m also on a major gold kick. Did you see the Sarreid trunk on Austin CL a few weeks ago for $100. I tried, but wasn’t quick enough. I’ll forgive you if you bought it.
Aaah, that was good. Real good.
I saw that console a while back and have been smitten ever since. It may have indeed achieved furniture perfection. I need an excuse to have this in my home!
Elizgonz, I emailed the dude but he never emailed back. That sucker should have gone to one of us…
I love gold, too — all metallics, really — but gold is king. Every space looks better with a touch of gold.
And a bowl of chocolates, but that’s a different topic.
Karly, you are hilarious. I nearlly peed my pants when I saw that first image.
That table is AMAZING.
Photo 3 is the double octopus by Autoban. Is that $4500? Sigh. I wish I could afford their stuff.
The lamp in the fourth picture is actually copper – Abbey at Aesthetic Outburst (that’s her dining room) thrifted it for one of those prices that make you gasp.

love that first picture! i love gold!
Hey Cassie, the Octopus chandelier is about $1400… the Sciolari light is about $4500, sorry I put the prices in the wrong spots. Oops!! Either way, mommy’s not getting them. sadface emoticon!
LOVE this post. Do you know where the last image is from?
Oh, sweet precious gold. I love you. And that console? Beyond words. It’s perfection.
“I knew my love was never really gone since I can’t seem to get this light out of my head:”
I actually have that light (2nd pic) over my head when I sit in our LeCorbusier by the window. It’s by C. Jere. Yes, the same C. Jere that made all those brass wall hangings in the 60′s with the birds and/or hundreds of thin rods. This fixture has been a favorite of mine, ever since I picked it up for $2 at a garage sale. What the what?! Safe to say the people had no idea what they had.
