Goldfinger

The previous owners of this house must have had goldfingers, because every fixture and piece of hardware in this house has some spec of gold color in it.  Some of the fixtures are so ugly that even if I tried to explain it in detail, you wouldn't believe me.  So, as they say...a picture is worth a thousand words...

The beautiful light fixture illuminating the half bath on the main floor.  Notice the matching mirror!

 Right under that sits the immaculately golden faucet.  Doesn't it just make you feel like royalty? (This was also the site of the infamous small round salmon-colored toilet with the wooden seat that has since been replaced.

These cabinet pull are the bane of my existence! We found out the hard way that not only are they hideous, they are also an odd hard to find size!  The handles from center to center are 4" apart, whereas most normal people's cabinet handles are either 3" or 96cm from center to center.  The golden knobs have already been switched out, but now the shiny new satin nickel knobs have to co-exist with these eye sores.  Thus, the hunt for cabinet handles continues. 

I am not exaggerating when I say EVERYTHING is gold!

The door stops.

The door knobs.

This is the light fixture in the master bathroom.  Of course this one couldn't just hang alone... it has an identical twin hanging right next to it!   

Just when you thought you've had enough... I saved the best for last.  The MVPs, if you will... The ceiling fan in the guestroom:

This beauty greets you as you enter the front door! 

My friend Jenn W. tried to defend all the gold by pointing out that "gold was once in fashion."  I have to agree that yes, gold used to be in style...in 1849!!!!  Tune in next time to see which fixtures will stay and which ones will be voted out of the house...
