It really is a beautiful combo and I meant what I said in the post about the brass really warming up the cool of the grey. I do think it can go with stainless appliances, for sure, but it's nice to have a couple little things that are brass in the kitchen to tie it in. Even just a little container sitting on the counter that's brass is a nice touch. If you go to my older post on brass in the kitchen (Touch of Brass - there is a link in the post above), you can see a kitchen that has stainless steel appliances and lights along with brass hardware faucets and it all works beautifully. It's the home of Sue Chiara of The Zhush blog (or pop over to her blog to take a look). Her kitchen has been featured at One King's Lane too. It's so beautiful!<br /><br />Wishing you all the best in your new home (send me photos when your kitchen is finished - I'd LOVE to see it!)<br /><br />Sheila<br />Sheila @ Maison de Cinqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285114069646866391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527952703457239385.post-71923539699520114112016-06-09T09:50:15.724-07:002016-06-09T09:50:15.724-07:00So excited to find your blog post!

And my husband trusted my decision. But you should hear some of the reactions of my family. Like absolute horror that I was using a brass color! I keep saying people need to not think of the 80's brass - but this is a fresh new version. Now I can send along your blog article as proof :) Do you find that it still goes with stainless steel appliances? Are what are some ways to coordinate the brass with other little touches in the kitchen so everything works together?Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819063518300321992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527952703457239385.post-71791624259818484152016-06-06T11:49:36.591-07:002016-06-06T11:49:36.591-07:00Oh, I love the brass for your new kitchen (and can...Oh, I love the brass for your new kitchen (and can't wait to see it!)<br /><br />I think some fixtures/hardware come in both and they are different, but for "decor" purposes I do think people use the terms interchangeably.

Or at least it seemed to be more gold colored than a brass color. Do you think the gold colored hardware is the same as the brass? I am having a hard time trying to figure it out... Like, is gold the same as polished brass (in terms of kitchen hardware/faucet fixtures), or is it something else entirely? I have decided for my kitchen if my house is ever going to be built(it will, but it is soooo slow), that I am going to go with brass because you are exactly right... It adds a touch of warmth! We think alike! Happy weekend, I'm off to shopping at South Coast Plaza this weekend!
