Some picture frames are a dime a dozen, so, when it comes to your home, make your pictures look as special as the people in them with a truly stunning frame. We would use this gold garland frame in the master bedroom with a wedding picture in it.

China is one of those treasures that can be passed down for generations. Blue or green are fine, but they limit your dining room decor. A touch of gold, such as in this set, looks great with any decor and is a timeless choice.

We can see this bronze and brass antique scale on the desk in a masculine office. It's the perfect way to add a touch of gold to a space that's more staid.

For salt, sugar, cocktail sauce, dip or any other entertaining staple that requires a tiny bowl, these gold-leaf sea urchins are showstoppers. We'd fill them with raw sugar cubes, cinnamon, cocoa powder and sucanat so that friends can fix their coffee with a little pizazz.

What an imposing way to light the entrance, inside or out. We'd turn these on when hosting nighttime events to keep the lighting low and elegant.

One of our favorite things about small console tables, such as this, is how incredibly versatile they can be. This table would be lovely in a living room, great in a guest room or to snazz up a sunroom.

Books are one of our favorite decorating staples, but sometimes all those multicolored spines don't go with the decor. These gorgeous antique, gold leaf books are the perfect accessory for a bookcase and would fit beautifully on a desk with bookends. Happy reading!

This incredible lantern is so gorgeous on its own, we can't imagine how well it creates ambiance with a flickering candle inside. We want a pair of these for our mantle.

The kitchen shouldn't be left out when the touch of gold is divvied up. These might be library scales, but we think they're fabulous on a kitchen counter or mantle and that they would be the most unique fruit bowls we've ever seen!
