I know the next sentence I write is going to seem weird…but…I have recently become obsessed with the1965 classic The Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews. I was flying back from New York a few weeks ago and we were stuck on the tarmac at JFK for about two hours so I decided to rewatch The Sound of Music. This last few weeks at work I’ve been humming the songs in my head and trying not to sing aloud for fear my colleagues will think…”yes, now it is true, Coco has gone nuts.”. Anyhooooo…one of the things I love in the movie is the setting in Salzburg, Austria…inside a beautiful house…with lots of ornate architecture and lots of brass and gold accents in the furniture and hardware. Yes…I was noticing the decor…
Anyhooo….got me to thinking about all of the beautiful chairs I have been seeing lately with brass or gold detail. While not traditional like the decor in my new favorite movie, I like the idea of having brass chairs to add a bit of elegance to a room. Here are some ideas…

I LOVE the antique brass stools with a grey seat. I google image searched them and appear to be from 1st dibs Milo Bauman but have already sold. Do you know where I could find them or similar?
Hi Sara! Did you ever find the chairs? I too would love to know where these came from.
Thank you
