From College Gold to Vintage Bronze: A Decor Warning Tale

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but in case no one has yet, you just need to know that you have to be on the lookout for college gold, okay? I too thought that I wouldn’t fall into the trap. I thought that I was better than this, but I did in fact experience the college gold effect. So what happens? You go to college, you’re decorating your dorm room. Suddenly, oh, you’re in the sorority house, just wanna decorate everything. You start buying everything in college gold because gold is a neutral, right? Well, suddenly you’re gonna be 26 one day and you’re going to be going to Michael’s, you’re going to be going to Hobby Lobby, spending an arm and a leg, going out and buying yourself a thing of Rub and Buff every other week because now college gold, artificial gold, that’s no longer the thing, okay? Nowadays, everything’s bronzed, everything’s aged. I want my entire house to look like it’s from 200 years ago, okay, but on like a five below kind of budget, you understand? College gold bar cart that you think is so cute that Tyler from Sigma Apple Pie is going to end up running into and breaking halfway through sophomore year, it is not safe. The day that graduation hits, you will be over absolutely all of it, I promise.
