Gold is back in,anybody can have white

Have you thought about Silver or black even?

gold

Maybe run a paint brush with black paint over it so that the gold still shows through;)

Ooooh. Good ideas. I think I'll go with the gold (as is) and see how that works. I've changed much of my home over to brushed nickle, but the gold really looks good on this frame. I'm a bit intimidated about adding black, but ... maybe. I'll take it slow and see. Thank you! I'll post pics of the result in its 'environment' when it comes back from the mirror elves.
