Color of the Month :: May Brass

domino magazine

I am super crazy into brass right now.  The funny thing about being into something like this is that it's still considered "old lady" by the vast majority of people, but a select handful (I call them the cool kids) are starting to use shiny brass.

It's totally making a comeback.  You can quote me.

While I wait for the rest of the world to catch up to me, I am struggling with finding fixtures and finishes for the basement that are shiny brass.  I found pulls for the cabinets at a salvage, the door hinges were easy because brass is a stock choice, the knobs were available but the hardware shop had a hard time finding them because no one had ever ordered brass before, and the problem has come down to faucets.

The bathroom has chrome finishes because it was easiest (and brass actually makes Mr. Hedin roll his eyes).  But the other spaces will have brass.  It's just going to be a trick finding brass faucets that don't look like your grandma just moved out.  Or that it's left over from 1986.



If anyone has suggestions for faucets that are modern and brass, please let me know!  Otherwise, you can follow me on Pinterest for all of my brass finds and loves.  I LOVE BRASS!
