Haha, yup, it was that late 60s, early 70s Hollywood Regency/ Las Vegas/ Palm Springs interior decorator -thing.

Hmmm, an idea for a new book? "Golden Modern" ?

For Tikidom, painting Tikis gold could be seen then as an early side-period to the late 70s/early 80s "painting-Tikis-in-bright-colors" phase. :)

Wait....I decided to ad this profound realization to the "Golden Tiki Apartments" thread which inspired my musings about the concept:
