Brass Is Back

It is and has been all over the design world the past year...and I am LOVING all things Brass. The mix of your grandmothers antique brass flatware to a beautiful polished gold chandelier over a modern table. Intermix different colors and textures to re-create a space that has a classic and sophisticated appeal.

These are a few of my favorites as I design a home inspired by brass end tables, fixtures, and hardware. You can achieve a similar look at a low budget by hunting through the attic or rummage through a good thrift store; buff out a few years of dust and grime and give those dated pieces life again!

Linen

lin'en (n): textile made from fibers of the flax plant. Linen is a very durable, strong fabric -aging beautifully with time and becomes softer the more it is washed. It is relatively easy to care for, since it resists dirt and stains and has no lint or pilling tendency. Linen can wrinkle easily but nevertheless, is often considered part of the fabric's particular "charm"...

I'm excited to design my clients' home this week with slip-covered dining chairs, linen sofas & chairs, sisal rugs and neutral color palettes.
