has begun to exhibit a Touch of Gold!
Our Entertainment Center is the focal point of our living room. Although it is quite a chore to change out the decor, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment when completed!
Honey oak finish compliments the golden hued accessories that are now showcased on the display shelves of the Entertainment Center!
I adore how the golden bird statues blend harmoniously with the vintage oil lamps and the straw angel!
Always my greatest challenge is this long narrow shelf above the television. The shelf itself is a delightful display space; however it's hiding the stereo speakers that gives me great distress!
Italian handled olive jars on the left. . .
combined with my French busts and an ornate clock camouflage the hideous speakers!
Golden accessories begin with a Marjolein Bastin owl print and some faux soft green textured hedge balls. Our Peace On Earth music box and "Mr. Ed's" golden retirement clock fill the second shelf!
Domed golden pocket watch and a laser cut shell finish the bottom shelf!
A second Marjolein Bastin print continues the golden hued accessories to the opposite side of our Entertainment Center. A Summer cloche with a single Sunflower and wrought iron rustic birds compliment the framed bird's nest. Brass vases from "Mr.Ed's" tours in Korea alongside my angelic snow globe completes this decorative area. Beneath is the HUGE stereo!
Books in brown, burgundy and tan have replaced the beige, along with the addition of golden sweetheart roses in the creamy ivory urns.
This past June we celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday!!! The remainder of our parents are deceased and awaiting our heavenly reunion! Having their photos near is such a comfort.
A Touch of Gold with hopes that Autumn is near and On Crooked Creek will soon put the Summer of 2012 in the past!
Until next time. . .

Hi Pat! Oh, your wall units look wonderful and you've decorated them beautifully! Now sit down, I've been working on my cabinets surrounding my TV today and I've added 'green'! :) Are we connected or not! :)
You and your hubby would be welcome at my table any time.
Be a sweetie,

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your sweet visit...most of my flowers have quit blooming ...but like yours my rosemary is thriving! Crepe Myrtles are doing fine...I am learning with the horrible summers we've had to cut back on my plant list. Your wall unit looks wonderful! Love all the personal touches and pretty artful arrangements. I have one in my family room and don't you love how much they hold! Love the window you have up on the top! Pretty post!

O, I know...it's been such a long, hot summer...I think we are all ready for fall. I can hardly wait for winter..my favorite of all seasons.
Everything looks very nice On Crooked Creek. You have been busy....I love GOLDEN. :)
Thanks for your advice and suggestions on my silly little mantel. I've had such fun with it and have ONE MORE POST about it this evening. :))
IT looks great, Pat, I like the touches of gold, and i like how you use books, which probably are well worn by you guys reading them!
Your golds look so pretty. I love all the fall vignettes you worked on. I want to start my fall decorating but am forcing myself to wait until September 1st. It's still in the triple digits here! Ugh!!!

So so so pretty, Pat! Love the warmth and chicness of the gold you added. I am so with you about saying goodbye to Summer 2012. I've had enough hot, humid, and dry days. Bring on the crisp coolness of autumn! :)
