Brass is Back!

I grew up in a house with quite a bit of brass. From lamps to picture frames it was prevalent. To me it always screamed super traditional and as a little girl, just plain ugly. Please don't take it personally Mom, I've matured since then. Not to mention, brass is really making a come back in a super chic and modern way. There are so many great designs out there that are made of brass or incorporate it in a really gorgeous way. Check out a few favorites.

Wall Flower Art from Jayson Home and Garden
These our a personal favorite that I happen to have hanging on the wall in my living room. I've got 6 all clustered on the wall above my sofa and I love them.

Frued Antique brass table from Clayton Gray Home

This side table is one of my absolute favorite brass finds. I mean--vintage brass and faux croc--what a perfect combo!! 


Hi Hat Side Table from Clayton Gray Home

How adorable are these side tables? I even like the brass and chrome finishes side by side. 


Concrete and Brass lamp  from Clayton Gray Home

This is such a unique lamp. The concrete next to the brass is such a cool combination. And for the really industrious--DIY'er, it would be interesting to try out making a version of this. 



Compass Mirror from Dwell Studio

Another beautiful piece from Dwell Studio's collection.
Brass Bar Cart from Plantation Design
A classic bar cart that you just can't go wrong with in any room.
Asheworth Campaigne Desk from Williams Sonoma

The brass accents on this desk are such a beautiful contrast to the dark black finish. I could see this in the right corner of a living room or bedroom. 

Brass Tic Tac toe game from gifts for professionals

I have a soft spot for tic, tac, toe sets. I remember a set made of marble my grandpa always had near his 'chair' as a kid so anytime I see a beautiful set like this, I have to stop and notice. 


Cam Sphere Lamp from Plantation Design

This is just a great lamp that definitely takes brass to a whole new level of modern chic.
