Metal-ist

I did a post for Vivienne over at The V Spot back in July while she was on vacation.
In case you missed it, here it is again.

Do you have a favorite metal?

Do you get giddy for gold?

Do you swoon over silver?

Maybe bronze makes your knees buckle, especially if it’s of the Oil-Rubbed Variety?

Could you be coo-coo for Copper?

We all have some type of preference when it comes to metal.

Do you prefer your metals shiny and bright, thankyouverymuch, or do you like the worn patina of time and use? Are you a closet member of the Brass Elimination Squad? Or a Flag-waving Brushed Silver or Die supporter?

Me? I am not such a Metal-ist. I have a more egalitarian approach when it comes to metal. I embrace them all with open arms.

Well, truth be told, shiny brass and rust are still kind of like the crazy uncle you tolerate only at certain times during the year, but I’m working on my equal rights for all metals approach.

Metals are somewhat seasonal for me, too. Last fall, I was in love with copper and wanted to copperize everything I came into contact with. By winter, I was on a Silver streak and wanted everything to be aged silver.

I’m not sure I’m back to my copper mood, but something about sure makes me happy.

The truth is, around my house, most metals happily coexist with one another.

I like metal. I don’t really care what type it is. It all has a place in my home.

On one end of my piano, lives aged gold, shiny silver, worn brass and oil-rubbed bronze.

While on the other end, lives more shiny silver, rusted tin and faux copper.

I’m quite happy with it. I think it works because they are small pops of metal.

I plan to redo the blonde wood piano into an aged silver finish, like I did with these chairs.

With such a strong metal look, I may have to change up my display, but I really won’t know until I get it done.

Sometimes, just a hint of metal is all you want on your furniture, like with this shelf.

What kind of Metal-ist are you?
