This calendar month we're happy to welcome our invitee host Claire from Claire Brody Designs. I've known Claire for a few years together with receive got fifty-fifty met her personally together with she is an absolutely lovely person. Let me say you, this is ane talented immature lady! Claire has the perfect combo of a keen oculus for blueprint together with the willingness to receive got a risk. The outcome is ever a sophisticated, bold, good curated infinite that powerfulness merely live on false for a blueprint out of a magazine. She of late made over her parents' living room, where she seamlessly combined quondam together with new, modern together with traditional, resulting inwards an absolutely jaw-dropping space.

KITCHEN
The kitchen powerfulness merely live on the easiest, almost obvious identify to experiment with mixed metals. Since almost of us receive got stainless steel appliances, mixing metals is a given if you lot desire to innovate whatever novel finishes into the space. I've got enough of brass accents mixed correct with my stainless, together with I intend everything plant together nicely. Gone are the days of continuing ane metallic complete throughout the entire draw of piece of job solid on every fixture, knob, faucet, together with slice of hardware.
TABLESCAPES
The simplest agency to mix metals when setting a pretty tabular array is to mix the flatware with dissimilar colors of metallic accents on the table. Only inside the final twelvemonth did I buy a gold-toned flatware set, but inwards the past times I receive got ever mixed silvery with golds together with coppers on the residual of the table. It keeps things interesting!
This is an older photograph from 5 years agone at my Mom's house, but you lot tin come across all of the brass candlesticks mixed with the pewter pitchers together with silvery flatware.
Do you lot come across the trivial bits of copper mixed with the brass on this table?
This rustic tabular array setting with silvery accents yet plays nicely with the golden framed mirrors on the wall. There's fifty-fifty a flake of ORB (Oil Rubbed Bronze) thrown inwards on the chandelier!
ACCESSORIES
Try compiling several pieces with a diverseness of finishes together on a shelf or inwards a vignette for a gathered over time, eclectic look.
What could live on ameliorate than an accessory that comes with a mix of metals? Brass together with copper combined...classic.
I'm cheating a trivial flake here... I intend that mirrors tin give the appearance of a silvery-metal complete when mixed with other metals. The same goes for mercury drinking glass accessories.
SEASONAL
In my opinion, Fall together with Christmas decor begs for mixed metals! A mix plays nicely with the warmer tones of Fall together with adds a festive affect to the holidays.
