Modern Gold Tabletop Style

All Gold everything has been trending for quite a while in #Bloglandia. I don't decorate with that much gold in my home, but when it comes to tabletop, I'm all in. For the past year or so, I've been obsessed with Modern Gold tabletop style and slowing adding it to my collection. I find it elegant and totally elevates the everyday. As I mentioned yesterday, I went a little silverware crazy this month and while ordering two sets of Towel Luxor flatware for everyday dining, I also ordered gold flatware I've been lusting after for ages. I'm going to keep it 100% I don't plan on using our new gold flatware every single day. I do plan on using it often to make our celebrations for holidays, birthday & deserts feel extra special. Of course anytime with have friends over, I'm breaking out the gold flatware. 

I've put together a my top finds for Modern Gold Tabletop high & low. I few of my selections I have and some I'm obsessed with getting. Check out my round below.

The One Vase You Need

I fully admit I'm a vase hoarder, I seriously have more options then I actually need. This past year, I've really gotten into arranging flowers and finally cracked the code to make simple grocery store blooms look like an expensive arrangement (check out this post for the How To). Since I buy flowers almost every single week, I've experimented with several different vases. However, the past few months there's one vase style I keep going back to, the cylinder vase.

Tall or small, the cylinder vase is actually the one vase you need in your cabinet. It's honestly the Go To Vase Style that helps take simple flowers from basic to amazing. Perfect example, a few days ago I bought carnations on a whim. The deep fuchsia color was too pretty to resist, even though I'm not much of a carnations person. I've always thought they were too common and not very special. Once the budget-buy; carnations were cut at various lengths to give them depth, and placed inside the cylinder vase, it was magic. The basic carnations went from so-so to amazing. 

In addition to using a small cylinder vase on repeat, I love using my larger crackle cylinder vase.

Cylinder vases are by far one of the easiest vases to arrange flowers in, and quickly take flowers from so-so to wow.  I found the small cylinder vase on Amazon for less than $8 bucks. The vase is the perfect size for making small arrangements look fuller, since the opening is only four inches wide and the vase is the all the same size. Versus using a vase that has a full round bottom, its hard to place the flowers in that type of vase. I seriously can't get enough of the simple cylinder vase.
