gold edge

How fun is gold flatware? It really adds so much to a table setting...don't you think? And in my opinion, it doesn't have to be reserved for fancy occasions only. I love the contrast of the shiny gold with the distressed wood as much as I love how the gold flatware dresses up a table for a special occasion! Gold & shiny...I am SO in! Do you want gold flatware as much as I do?

    Hi, Your blog looks great. Found your site via The Mustard Ceiling; will follow. I like the sleeker gold flatware - more elegant.

    I love having contrasts in decor, and that's why I also love the golden silverware against the texture of the wood. So pretty!

    Oh yes, agree with you! It doesn't need to be reserved for special occasions only. In my opinion, every single day it's special. It can't be relived or changed later. So why don't just enjoy all the charming pieces we store if it makes us happy? :) Anyway, love the white - gold - fuchsia combination in in 6th photo! Xo

    Oh it would definitely glam up any meal! I especially like it against the black and white tablecloth.

    Such a lovely, unexpected touch. You don't see gold flatware very often...but we should it's gorgeous.

    Thanks for linking up to mix and mingle this week.

    Love it. I recently scored my gold flatware while thrifting. I can't believe I haven't used it yet.

    Wonderful post! I had never really thought about it since I am so used to seeing silverware, but goldware is sooo pretty! It really adds a nice touch to a table.

    I scored some on OKL to go with my grandma's gold rimmed china. Haven't used them yet, but you reminded me that I need to create an occasion to do so!

    Looks so good on the weathered wood, the blk/wht stipes, and the clean carrera marble!

    I don't know if it's for me in shiny form, but the antiqued would most def catch my attention!

    I didn't give much thought about gold flatware but now that I see it, I think it looks so elegant and luxe! Love the 6th image and the second last image, now I have these to add into my wishlist! Love the sleeker version, by the way!

    I have been looking for the perfect gold flatware for a while. My china is part gold, but I can't find anything gorgeous in my price range. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get lucky at an estate sale!
