Most of the first rose gold things I purchased were kitchen items (some of which I'll show below since they're countertop items that double as decor) like pans, mixing bowls, and a package of utensils like a pizza cutter and can opener. I splurged on a marble serving board from Urban Outfitters that has made its way out many a time during get togethers, and bought a cheap marble-design plastic cutting board from Target. As long as it fit the theme and didn't really break the bank, I was into it (hexagon serving board aside, as it was just too beautiful not to indulge in, and also excluding the rose gold Simple Human garbage can we bought on sale, but which I honestly couldn't recommend enough).
A couple of the things that are out on the counter that fit the kitchen's theme are this Umbra Tug paper towel holder and these Bodum storage containers, which contain some of the most unsexy items at the moment (chickpea pasta, steel cut oats, and the pièce de résistance: cat treats). The "copper rain" hand soap was sent to me at work as part of a limited edition Method collection. It smells like a damn dream, and obviously the fact that the packaging was rose gold was just the most basic plus.
Moving away from the kitchen and into the living area, metallic and marble pieces make appearances all over the place. We have this candle holder from Bath and Body Works that I'm obsessed with, as well as this marble print from Old English Co. (it looks like this card, but came in a print version, similar to this pizza print — see it in this insta photo). In the bar cart, though I wouldn't call them "decor," I have some of our copper steel straws out as well as our copper moscow mule mugs and a pair of rose gold martini glasses I was gifted. Above that cart (which is from IKEA, but in a discontinued color), sits probably my favorite item in our entire place: a copper Umbra Prisma Wall Mirror, which can be seen in the top photo of this post (ISN'T IT JUST THE MOST GORGEOUS THING?!).
Only second to that glorious geometric mirror comes the gallery wall that sits above our TV in the living room. It took me quite some time to collect all of the pieces, nearly half of which are rose gold/copper. Of those three things, a clock featuring gems instead of numbers (which hangs just a touch too far to the right . . . I'll fix it some day), and two Umbra items — a Prisma frame in the same style as our mirror and a set of Trigg hanging planters (which I later filled with some fake plants from Amazon).
There are a few other rose gold bits and bobs around the apartment that aren't shown here, like this adorable candle wick trimmer, (seen in this insta post), our Petcube camera, which keeps an eye on Grey and Swayze while we're out of the house (not a cheap purchase, but we opted for one that had a built-in laser so we could play with them even when we're not home), and two steel storage bins from Target that are pewter with copper handles and hold our extra blankets and records (see the latter in this insta photo). That's mostly it — that said, I could do another entire post on my rose gold beauty bits and our collection of millennial pink items, but I'll spare us all.
(Proof that we all love rose gold in this apartment, which you can follow through the insta hashtag, #LAGSandLESSapt.)
