Gold {decor}

I found the most amazing gold “money box” skull the other day, and I tell you, this little guy has sparked a whole lot of obsessiveness in the decor dreaming department.

I am a bit OCD with that sort of thing. Once I have an idea, or see something that I like, then I become obsessed with making it “work”! Pinterest also doesn’t make things easier, since it’s filled with even more ideas to keep the OCD fire burning, and all through the wee hours of the morning.

Anyhoo, back to the skull, whom we shall call Frank. Right now Frank is moving around from desk to coffee table, to side table to shelf. He’s sort of a nomad, since I haven’t found a permanent residence for him just yet.

I think that Frank needs more “gold friends”. Not in the ghastly, ornate, gahhh-lld kinda way, but you know in a more minamalistic, sleek and simple kind of way, and I think Typography prints (another obsession) would do the trick.

Perhaps a gallery wall or wall of frames with a few gold foil prints and gold paintings, set against white or black backgrounds with a mix of black frames, white frames – and maybe even one gold frame to pull it all together – would make Frank a happy head.

Wishbone Original Fine Wall Art

This unique, hand painted wishbone art print by Jennifer Latimer my absolute favourite! It’s so simple yet so amazing.

Frank would love it… adding another “bone” to the collection.

Hello Heart Of Gold

Love this heart print by Stephanie Sterjovski via her online store, SS Print Shop

Cest Tout

A little French flair? Yes please! In French, Cest Tout means, “it’s everything” and the combination of the heart, as translated by the designers at Ampersand Shop means “It’s Everything Love”. Love it!

NON

Designer Bags

20131216-224248.jpgAlthough this one doesn’t have that gold foil and metallic finish (since it’s a DIY print), I do still love it and especially the quote from My Little Print Shop.

Ampersand

Skull

Oh I think Frank would be approve and be happy to have another head in the room! Love this Skull print by Jen Ramos via her shop Made By Girl

Which is your fave?

    Oh yes I love this style! Is that gold skull from Typo? I saw one like it and really wanted it but at the time carrying a skull around with me was a little inconvenient. Hope they still have stock because this has convinced me that I really do need it.
