My real question is what to do with uncoated polishe brass
Comments (2)Learn to love the living finish. It is THE hot finish right now and extremely popular. The whole thing about a living finish, like any other bronze, brass, copper, etc, is that it changes with every touch and use. If you don't love that, then put it on Ebay and get something else....See MoreCan I mix polished brass with dull or vintage brass?
Comments (3)I hope so! I am mixing different brass finishes throughout our home. For example- here's our lighting. and faucet- Door levers are an antique brass/bronze. Next up- cabinet hardware!...See MoreUpdate dated bathroom (cream tile, oak and polished brass) w/o Reno
Comments (8)These are all very good thoughts! I’ve been looking on Facebook Market and Craigslist for used vanities or floor sample sale items, and I’ll continue to do that. We’ve been by a couple of warehouses that have items from demolition, but nothing has quite worked yet. Habitat for Humanity May be a good place to look though - we haven’t been there! For removing the shower door, I didn’t think of that for a full shower. Can that be done? I figured doors were necessary, and my husband didn’t like the idea of just covering the doors with a shower curtain. Getting rid of it could be good.. I think changing out the mirror, light and paint could be the first step to take sooner than later. Complication to white is that this tile is cream colored. See this pic to see the difference... still neutral at least! I think I can move forward with navy and gold accents, right?...See MoreBrass hardware finish - brushed vs. polished vs. antiqued
Comments (4)I also was going to use satin brass wirh my polished nickel faucet. At the last minute I changed all the hardware to polished nickel as well. It is now one of my favorite things in my new kitchen!...See Moreroorezzi
