brassy pair

I have been on the prowl for a metal brassy pair of swing arm sconces for my new master bedroom.
Even a little polish can make the most undecorated mattress on the floor suddenly look hip.
Loving this one. I found a brassy pair today.
and this bossy brassy vintage one found on 1st dibs.

How do you feel about a little silver shiny or brassy friend to light up in your home?
Silver or brass?

    They are both very nice - I'm partial to brass. Love your choices.

    Both are very nice. I have always been a silver/chrome girl but this new house we bought has brass everywhere way too much to change. Good luck with your choice.

    We have always gone with brass, which I do love.. but in the addition that we are just completing, I have gone with brushed bronze, and I do love the subtlety. Just another option.

    I am very drawn to brass lately. Though looking around I see a lot of silver in my kitchen and brass in the family room.....I guess I like to mix my metals!

    These look lovely. I love a little shine in life. We choose a lot of silver finish, but have some lovely faded brass vintage brass sconces bracketing our bed, they are two of my favorite things!

    Happy hunting!

    I like to mix metals, however, I love our plated nickel for our bedroom lamps. They're understated and pretty.
    All the pics. you showed were nice. I guess it has to do w/the room, as a whole.
    Good Luck and have fun!

    nothing is better than these for the bedroom-stick with the brass-that is the classic choice.

    I'm jealous, I'd love to have two shiny brass ones wall mounted. I have to brass bedside lamps but just aren't as chic. Patricia your blog is looking so fabulous. I'm sorry that it's been too long since I've stopped bye. Have a great Wed.!

    Depending on the room, but I think the brass would make its mark. xo

    I think the fashion and decorating trends are swinging back towards golds and brasses. And of course mixing metals is very "in" right now. I don't think you can go wrong:)

    I love the brass!! Those two in the first image look like they're staring into the bed, especially the one on the right...kind of strange...but they're very cool!

    You've hit on two of my most favorite things. I'm slightly obsessed with antique brass,,,,and completely obsessed with wall mounted swing arm lamps! I think the two would make a perfect combo. : )
