Luxury Accessories for the Living Space – add a touch of gold & glamour to any room
“Never buy a piece of art that you don’t have to have. You know, don’t worry about who the artist is or how much it’s worth. I mean, you have to live with it every day. You have to walk by it every day. You have to really love it; you have to really appreciate it. It’s kind of like picking a mate.”
This is a genius line from Jennifer Aniston’s movie, ‘The Breakup.’ It just makes sense that when accessorizing your home, you never settle for pieces that do not make you swoon the first time you see it. If you must splurge, do it on things that you have to see and live with every day – things that make you feel like royalty in your own home.
