I love gold, always have so I am jumping on this bandwagon and putting gold somewhere in my house.
My formal living/dining room seemed to be the best choice to add some glam.
I recently got rid of my wood coffee table that came with a the furniture set I purchased. I didn't like the matchy matchy feeling I got in the room, it was craving for an attention piece. I came across this picture

and right away knew what my room was missing:)
Having a gold and glass coffee table can really add sophistication and glam to a space.
I didn't want to spend a fortune on a table so I turned to craigslist, but I had a very specific piece in mind, something like this

I was so happy when I found this baby!!

Before

 the table was pretty similar, so for 35.00 I snatched that deal up real quick! A little rub n buff in antique gold and I now have have perfect coffee table:)

After
I <3 it!!

So what do you think? Is gold trendy or timeless?
