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-
Violetta Vintage Brass and Black Iron Lamp
spoons great example of displaying a collection- equal distance apart and at varied heights
A classic copper and brass diving helmet
Pretty copper and brass hand bag because even Sherwin-Williams is noticing the Steampunk movement!
I do love Steampunk.. Vintage Brass Steampunk bankers lamp
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.
