Got Brass, In Pocket...



I'm so drawn to all things brass, bronze and gold right now.
Blame it on all the warm, copper, Autumn colors
and the harvest hues on display outside my window.










Whatever the reason,
it just seems so pleasing...
 and it's definitely making me notice!

Love a touch of brass in a room - a way to warm up any color scheme! That side table in the third picture is fabulous!

Tonia of Chic Modern Vintage said...

Brass, ooooo My current obsession at the moment too. It add a certain something to the room.

Francine Gardner said...

I love dark bronze accents. I custom designed the handles for my new furniture collection, just because I could not find the perfect ones.Same for bronze or weathered brass accessories and lighting. i am very drawn to them.
Love the bedroom !

J'adore that little chair in the first photo and can think of a million places I would put it in my house!

Love bronze, brass, gold, copper etc. etc. I love metallics but am especially liking the warmer metallics atm.

The first pic of the office is beautiful. The dark tones and hints of gold are perfect.

I totally agree with you. It's looking good.

I've always been a lover of brushed golds...so striking. The mirror in the first image is fabulous. Also loving the zebra rug in the elegant bedroom. I have a wool zebra rug in my office and it makes me smile daily!

Helena - A Diary of Lovely said...

totally AGREE! obsessed too! I love the third photo, that table is perfect!

Krystal said...

agree! bronze seems like a great way to spice up a room! nice idea:)

Style Maniac said...

Agreed. In fact, I love antique brass so much I've had to put a moratorium on any more purchases lest my living room begins to resemble a brass shop. But I do love my 60s brass coffee table and 70s dining table ... and that last photo, above.

pretty pink tulips said...

Yes....love warm metals. I think I spy Jan Showers! :)

Gorgeous! I love that first image and I love the warm tones. xo

a little luxe said...

OH I love all of those!!!! Gorgeous..... I love it too... I was thinking the other day, I love gold jewelry why not put it more in my home? I especially love the brushed, antiqued.

A Perfect Gray said...

I could so EAT everything in that last image, smack my lips, then die a happy girl...

style'n said...

wow love #3 and agree brass/gold is so beautiful. my family room has touches of the gold/bronze. Love it.

stylebyrachael said...

I am really coming around the whole gold thing. My husband has a phobia of anything gold(grew up too close to the jersey shore) and it rubbed off on me, but now I am definitely coming back around. Now how do I get him over his fear of anything gold? Hmmm...

Shannon @ Sit.Relax.Gossip. said...

I'm obsessing over brass and gold too, especially with a little orange thrown in.

lisaroyhandbags said...

I'm starting to warm up to gold accents again too - it does add that certain vintage-chic feel to a space :)

La Dolfina said...

I know, the brass thing, it's great huh?
I'm smitten with all these images you found Sue!
By the way, if you are looking for some cool vintage brass items, let me know. I've found some recently and can email you photos.

The first pic just immediately sucked me in. I love this. I am going to save it for an inspiration pic to use in our home office. Gorgeous!

Dovecote Decor said...

When I think about it, I'm actually quite short on brass. I think I am going to add it in the form of task lighting for arm chairs. Thanks for the reminder, we all need to get more brassy!
Best,
Liz

Nikki said...

I love brass too. It really adds a lot without being too colorful. I think Brass frames are my fav.

Style Attic said...

The little ditty of a circle table in the 3rd pic totally jumped off the page! Brass and gold have certainly stood the test of time :)

Alcira Molina-Ali said...

Bring on the brass!
I'm so with you. Throw it in with black and white -- anything really -- and you have total perfection.

Cheers, Alcira

I've been looking for some large artwork lately and those last two paintings are right up my alley. Feeling very inspired.

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Yes, I am with you....it's come a long way from the shiny stuff that makes me shudder. Great inspiration images.

Heather said...

Oh, I would love someone to come make my studio like the first picture! How lucky to be able to work in that space!

SabinePsynopsis said...

It's the light, Zhush, it's the light. So warm and wonderful these days... Love these interiors and btw, I left you a little tag on my blog today. Even though you are not a specific 'fashion' blog, I'm sure you can still have fun answering the fashionable questions.

Averill said...

LOVE gold and brass right now too. Just so much warmer than silver and I love the contrast when it's paired with grays or blues.

Love the warmth of brass as an alternative to the shine of gold. Lovely pics

Ann said...

I'm loving the last photo! I'll take the lamps, the table and the sideboard. I'm also wearing a lot of gold too. It looks so pretty with the grey, white and navy that I can't get enough of right now.

Love these gorgeous autumn hues!

I love bronze, brass & gold. Always have, always will. It just warms any space & brings it all up a notch :)

court. said...

ahem. I have a confession....i have been eyeing the brass trays our local pub delivers your check on. i stole one. it's heavy and tarnished and given all the martinis I ordered, I practically bought it!

Marcus Design said...

Beautiful! There is something so sophisticated about touches of brass.

Ren- Lady Of The Arts said...

Kind of remindes me of old school styles- my grandmother Olga has some similar looks in her place- without the modern flare of course.

Rhiannon Nicole said...

Sara Louise said...

I love that little pink bench in the second to last photo, and all the brass too of course!

Casa Bella said...

For me silver has been it for quite some time. Now brass and gold look so appealing. Go figure.

qerat said...

Love the bedroom. outstanding.

Lynda @ Happenstance Home said...

I'm liking the brass look more and more. My guest room has hints of it. Lamp bases and some on picture frames. I'll show it someday!

Laura Casey Interiors said...

Love that first room. I too adore the look of brass.

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle said...

I'm starting to move from silver to soft golds too. You're right, they do seem to work in the autumn.

Velvet and Linen said...

Yes, I'm loving unlacquered brass right now.
The Waterworks Henry line is top on my list.
Aged brass has that great patina.
Beautiful post!
