Back in the eighties every new or remodeled home had brass chandeliers, doorknobs, and fixtures. Fast forward ten to twenty years and all that brass had been replaced with nickel and chrome. Brass was out; but just like trends in fashion, many styles come back around. What’s different this time is the finish, it doesn’t have to be polished or shiny, you can select burnished or matte brass.

Love Where You Live
| 01.25.11
Brass Bash February 2011
Take a quick glance down at your hands. What color is your ring/watch/jewelry? Do you like your jewelry? If you were married before 1997 is it or was it at one time gold? What color is the door hardware, cabinet pulls, plumbing fixtures, and light fixtures in your home? Does it look current to you? If it is brass and you love it then this post is not for you. Live and let live, and Love Where You Live. The color of your hardware may be a frivolous conversation but then again this may be the minor change that makes all the difference in selling [or being willing to stay in] your home.
