There are two sides to every story and this is the fairy tale ending to the previous post: Gold = Fancy? While I thoroughly enjoy making light of the notion that if you accent it in gold they will come, in some cases it is inevitable and not always a bad thing . There are some fabulous gold accents out there that not only hearken back to past days of decadence and glamour, but also reach into the future in hopes of "de-Trumping" (as in Mr. Trump's fixation on gaudy gold and pink marble) what some cynics think of gold in our contemporary design culture. It sounds like a lot to handle and to be frank it is. It takes the right touch and a delicate, yet confidant design sensibility to pull off a stunning, not gaudy, gold accent.
These examples fit like Cinderella's glass slipper (think if the slipper were made of gold instead of glass): boring, gaudy, or just the right touch? You be the judge.
