I love the look of silver. Whether plated, solid, or mercury glass, silver has a permanent place in our home. Case in point, Christmas decorations. The living room looked like a cross between Paul Revere’s silversmith shop and an elf disco.
Lately, though, I gotta say, I’ve been flirting with brass.
It all began with our den. My husband wanted a library feel, which called for brass and wood accents.
While hunting for brass I fell in love with the coat rack above. Ahem, technically it’s called a costumer. For now it’s brightening up an otherwise spartan guest room. A friend said it reminded her of Fred Astaire: slender, dapper, and doesn’t it look up for a spin?
So the brass has reached the second floor, and will likely continue its charming infiltration. What do you think? Are we in the midst of a larger brass resurgence?
If you’re hankering for a hunk of brass, Katie Armour’s shop always has a cheeky selection, often of the animal persuasion. And her blog, The Neo-Traditionalist, is divine.
While mulling it over, take a peek at our den accessories below. Click the pictures to link to etsy vendors.
P.S. As usual, since I can’t pick a paint color to save my life, I’m partnering with Amy Meier on the den decor. Stay tuned for a full den reveal this summer.
Thanks so much for the mention! I think it’s having more than a moment though—I never want to part with most the brass I find ; ) It’s such sweet sorrow when it sells, but I know it goes to happy homes!
