THE MIDAS TOUCH: GOLD
This blog post could not be any more me could it? Gold, gold and more gold!! I was recently challenged by Wayfair to style a gold side table up to my own taste and this is what I came up with.
Wayfair were kind enough to gift me this stunning feature Milton Side Table by Safavieh – it even has mirrored tops – fancy! If you’ve been following me on Instagram you probably know that lately I’ve been loving adding house plants about the place, and since I’m a serial plant killer (seriously, I can pretty much keep succulents alive and that’s it – not even cacti), I’m loving faux plants at the moment. In particular, the newest addition is my faux Eucalyptus Hanging Plant. It actually comes in a lovely minimal black pot but this is ‘The Midas Touch’ after all so gold plant pot – voila.
There are three things I think that any well styled side table (or even coffee table) needs.
- Coffee Table Books. Be it Fashion Books, Photography, Architecture, anything goes. I went for some monochrome fashion books to compliment the gold nicely.
- Plants. Or flowers? I love a good orchid arrangement, but I’m really partial to green plants at the moment, I’m pretty sure that leaf green was made to go with gold… they look so good together.
- Accessories. Little things tidied away in a cute trinket type box makes your table a little bit more interesting. You can even put some personal belongings in there if you’re a bit more sentimental.
In fairness, I would normally have a candle somewhere on there, but I’m kind of paranoid that the plants are going to catch fire… dramatic I know but I like my house so I’d rather it didn’t burn down.
*This post is sponsored by Wayfair but as always my opinions are my own – and you know how much I love gold!
This looks gorgeous, I did this challenge too and was so surprised when I came across the mirrored top on another table! For some reason it didn’t really show that well on their website. But the tables are gorgeous aren’t they? I’ve got a faux orchid and candle on mine, and yes, I keep worrying that the orchid might catch fire. Either that, or my nosy cats whiskers will go up in smoke X
It looks fab, Olivia!
Gold goes so well with green foliage and other metallics. The mirrored surface gives it extra luxe appeal too! 🙂
Every time I read a post of yours I DROOL at your house! This is no exception – you have styled it to a T and it looks simply stunning girl!
