I have been noticing how brass/gold accents have been making a strong comeback. Everywhere I look from bath fixtures, to coffee table and mirrors I see it. Maybe it is because of "Mad Men". Who the hell knows. Probably the retailers just want you buy so they decided that silver was out so you have to replace everything with gold. Just to be mean. Well...I fool them because I am old enough to have had brass/gold, stored it and gotten silver. Now I am going to bring out all my bling.
I was reading a great post on
The Zhush about the resurgent of brass and she had some great pictures so you need to hop over there.
Here are a few other images I grabbed off Decor Pad just to get your juices going!
I want this coffee table so badly that I was thinking of selling my liver on the black market.
How cute are these?
Precious.
I think my parents had one of these.
I guess I will have to get my cast bronze chandelier out of the attic.
Home Decorators.
I remember when brass objects were a sin! This is sinfully beautiful.
Dang. A brass trunk. Better hit the consignment stores. You know there is ton's of brass there. AND...I am sure that a lot of people have NOT gotten the memo.
Sconces. Pulls on cabinets.
I saw these at a furniture store yesterday. They were only 42.00. Might have to go back and get them.
But I will have to draw the line on this. No brass shower doors. I just can't go back there.
So hop on over to
The Zhush and look at all her beautiful pictures. Every time you think you have it "they" change it. Pretty soon we will have to have a warehouse for the yearly change out of brass, silver, iron, pewter......we'll show "them".
Now I have to watch my recorded episode of RHOBH!
