Brass is Back, Baby! Some say what goes around comes around. We all remember brass as one of the most popular finishes of the 20th century – and we can see why it’s making a comeback in today’s trendiest kitchens. Brass offers a warm contrast to the cool nickel and chrome that has dominated kitchen fixture finishes over the past couple of decades. Plus it’s easy to mix in with other metals to liven up a space. 

Walk into a kitchen, and what is your eye drawn to? The countertops! Cabinets are the backdrop, lighting lends ambience, flooring is the base…but it is the countertops that speak to who lives and works in that kitchen. Whether you’re contemplating a kitchen refresh or taking on a major renovation, consider choosing the countertops first. They are the heart of the project.
