(brass is back)

So next on the to-do list is to confirm all the plumbing fixture choices for the house.  I thought I would have an opinion about this and let me tell you, I just don’t; except for the brass faucet I ordered for the powder room.

Brass is so back – is there anything chicer than black and gold?  Obviously that’s what Wiz Khalifa was referring to in his song “Black & Yellow.”  I wish I could make all the faucets in the house brass, but alas, the husband isn’t too fond of the look and always taunts me with Goldmember Austin Powers quote, “I loooove goooold!!”  And he is absolutely right.

Anyways, we will be going with the Moen Kingsley in the “antique bronze” finish.  It is just the right shade of gold – not too shiny, not too yellow – and fits right into the Parisian Bistro powder room experience I am going for.  Yes, an experience (my dream job was to be an imagineer, after all).

Everything else in the house will be stainless steel or chrome; I actually prefer chrome in the bathrooms as it lends itself to a nice retro vibe.  I’m still trying to work in a brass faucet for the kitchen (it’s so on point), but I might just have to let this one go…

Here are a few of my fav black and gold combos:

And scene.  Have a great weekend!
