Brass is the hottest trend for warming up your interiors

Brass is the IT metal this season. It's great to warming up those cool greys. I like to mix it with other metals- silver, iron, copper. As a metal that patinas readily, there are so many tones to choose. Once you find the one you like, simply seal it with a light coat of wax!

Here are some of my recent acquisitions in brass! You can find them at Interiors and Antiques in Vestavia Hills.




Here are some great finds from the web with mixed metals-

    I love those spoons - what a fun wall hanging that would make! And I saw several Copper Diving Helmets for sale on our last vacation when we visited Tarpon Springs, Sponge Diving Capital of the World! They were cool, but pricy.
