  Purchase a collection of golden items such as plates, cups, saucers and vases. Don't make everything gold, but sprinkle the color throughout your kitchen so that it has a natural but obvious presence. You may want to purchase golden faucets, door handles and cabinet handles. Embellish with a few golden pieces, like a painting or a vase, or purchase some golden flowers and sprinkle them around the room to play off of your freshly painted golden walls. These little pieces can really tie a room together.
