KITCHEN COUTURE: BRASS ACCENTS!

November 11, 2011
  • Share
Kitchen with white cabinet and drawers, black appliances with brass accents and a pinwheel tile backsplash

I have a friend, JG, who has homes in Palm Beach and New Orleans. She was visiting L.A. awhile back and I met up with her at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge where she showed me some fantastic photos of the renovation of her New Orleans home. The kitchen was to die for and included a fantastic brass hood over the stove. She had it custom made and it was awesome.

After seeing that kitchen with its brass hood, I started to become obsessed with brass accents. Have always been a silver toned hardware person…but now I’m starting to be open to other metals like brass. Why not try brass pendant lights, faucets and drawer pulls as seen here. I like.

Also loving the mosaic tile backsplash.

Kitchen with pinwheel tile backsplash, white cabinets and drawers, black and white checkered floor, brass pendant lights over and island surrounded by wood bar stools with leather cushions

What do you think of a little brass here and there?  What do you think of this kitchen?  Like or dislike?

Happy Veterans Day! Happy Friday!  Happy 11/11/11!

P.S.  Best of friend AM is in town today from NYC…we are going to the Soho House tonight with other best of friend AT who is in from London as well!  Woot woot.  My friends are back!

    Hi Coco, I think the kitchen is beautifully executed. I just did a post on the impact of black and white. I love it. It’s interesting how design trends come and go. Brass had lost favor for awhile, but now it seems fresh and interesting–especially in this space.

    All the best, Cindy

    I love everything about this kitchen from the black and white floors to the black and white tile backsplash. The brass lanterns and other brass detailing give it a warmth that nickel could never. It’s perfect!

    I really like this white kitchen! The brass finish on the light fixtures and hardware, mixed with the warm wood tones of the furniture make this kitchen divine! Makes me want to whip up a meal!

    Sincerely,

    I just did a post on gold and brass accents yesterday. It’s really growing on me! I love that bowl in the kitchen and the lights…it’s a bold move but a great one that ties in that amazing stove.

    You know, Michael Paine (the interior designer who originated the HGTV Designing for the Sexes show) was in Charlotte a couple of months ago speaking at our local chapter meeting, and he mentioned brass hardware as a growing trend for drapery hardware as well. Brass? Haven’t we all just barely finished ripping all the brass out of our clients’ homes and replacing it with weathered bronze and satin nickel finishes?! Nothing really goes away in interior design; it just cycles back around with a fresh twist to make it FEEL new. Your friend’s kitchen is beautiful, and I agree, the brass accents feel refreshing and chic.

    I’m digging the brass too. I thought I was over it, but now I’m loving it–again. It has a military/equestrian/utilitarian beauty. My revival was entirely resurrected by a kitchen I found by accident and featured on our last post. Come by and peek.
    Best,
    Liz

    I think the difference with the 80’s brass phase and today’s newest trend is the patina of the brass – it’s not shiny and obnoxiously bright. It has an aged, lived-in feel…which also is on trend…it makes sense.

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
