I dedicate this post to brass.
which I shall now rename: Art Brass.
Some people are still under the delusion that brass is passé. This is not the brass of the massed produced McMansions of the 80’s. And we are NOT talking boob lights here, people.
Brass has turned sculptural.
Brass is now art and eye candy for the home.
Brass is the perfect accent. the perfect high note. the perfect shine. the jewelry.
You want brass.
Don’t believe me that brass is like art for your home?

alert! kitchen update!
I have been loving brass, and I am eager to bring more of this deep golden hue into my own kitchen remodel. {follow #projectFHDkitchen on instagram, my posts here, and my Pinterest kitchen inspiration board}
Granted. We are taking it slowly, since we are doing this baby without incurring debt, but I have started collecting gorgeous goods for my kitchen remodel. Gorgeous BRASS goods, that is!
What better way to add high-gloss glamour to your 1820’s farmhouse than with Art Brass detailing??
We have picked our gorgeous faucet, which is uber sculptural:
{this is Pretty-Bling AND Pretty-Useful, with the super cool touch-free feature that I am giddy about}
{Delta Trinsic Single Handle Touch 2O Faucet, Champagne Bronze}
and I have been dying for a brass pot filler for many a day. So I snagged this one. Mine will take on a more modern mix in my kitchen than shown in this image {although, can I have that pot to go with it??}:
Another brassy touch?
I am pretty much sold on these drawer pulls. Simple. Perfect. Artful. Brassy for that Arse.
I also plan on adding brass detailing to my kitchen hood. With strips of brass edging, a la the black-kitchen-hood-image above, or possibly in the style of this image below:
And if money were no object, I totally would have gone with brass inlay on my cabinets, as in the kitchen above designed by Brigit Israel. Because, how STUNNING is that???
So do tell!
What are you thinking of brass these days?
Do you have any brass hangups as a result of the late 80’s??
What is your fave brass inspiration?!

Delta Faucet is the gracious sponsor of this post. I love that they, too, embrace the #HappiMess of life!
All opinions are my own. But you should know something about important our connection. It was ‘lil ol’ ME** who reached out to them on account of the GORGEOUS design of their Trinsic faucet. Delta just so happens to be savvy enough to work with bloggers, and for that I am grateful! Thank you, Delta. You guys GET IT. Gorgeous design, accessible pricing, advanced technology……Oh, and Brass.
{**disclaimer to my mother: Yes, mom. I know I was supposed to say “It was I who reached out to them,” but I couldn’t figure out how to Type-SCREAM in all caps when I is only one letter. Sigh. The mental torture of being the daughter of an English teacher.}

I love brass and I am so happy that it has made a comeback with a vengeance!…Love the inspiration here today!…that stove hood and stove are exquisite!!
Twelve years ago when I purchased my 1910 bungalow, I couldn’t get rid of all the brass fast enough. Replaced it all with ORB. Now, in my new 1920 home, I’m looking at brass to work with my predominantly navy, white, and pale pink palette. How wonderful you have narrowed the field and shown us these gorgeous pieces! Enjoy your kitchen reno. Cannot wait to see the results.
I still hate brass. It still screams 1990 to me. Maybe because I live in one of those McMansions?
But I do have that exact dish towel, so maybe I’m not *utterly* style-bereft.
haha, gyen! you are filled with hope!!!!!!! xoxox great to hear from you! 🙂
I too have lived through the polished brass era and have helped my clients de-brass their homes — and low and behold here it comes again! As always with our industry, they tweak it enough to make us want it all over again! I still stand by my use what you love moto. If you love it now and when it goes out, hopefully you will still love it!
How do you do brass? Can I add brass hardware to a bookcase in a room where I have a silver light fixture? If I do a brass faucet in the kitchen do I need to swap out my silver ones in the bathrooms? I love brass but am not sure that I want it everwhere…thanks!!
I love the pictures! What great inspiration for me. Starting to redo a 1960’s house.
Love, Love Love
An excellent job, I want to always congratulate can find a differential in a project so true luxury, successes.
