For a long time gold has been considered garish and tacky but it’s enjoying a huge comeback, although not in an ‘Elton John glasses’ kind of way. With the wide use of natural stone in remodeling, especially kitchens and bathrooms, gold is more than infiltrating the market. The natural stone industry is subtly using granite and marble to emphasize gold, and the effects are spiraling upward in places throughout homes everywhere. Natural stone with gold veins punctuating a huge collection of colors are being imported from quarries all over the world.
