With Canadian Thanksgiving just days away, I’m in a panic to finally decide on a dinning table. Since having my place painted (embarrassingly nearly four months ago!) I’ve been struggling to make a decision. So it’s been months of eating on the floor or my one chair in the living room (still waiting for my custom sofa to arrive). If you read my post on The Joy of Less, you know that I’ve been relishing all this room to create, which may have perpetuated my indecision. But enough, is enough, time to make a decision.
This sophisticated New York City apartment awash in neutrals and reminiscent of breezy California design is this weeks addition to my Inspired Interiors series. With amazing views, keeping the interior subtle allowed the surroundings to be the star. Shortly after starting the design project, the owners discovered they were expecting, giving the project an immediate deadline. The results are nothing short of spectacular and include one of the chicest nurseries I’ve ever seen!
There is no question brass is having a moment. If you had asked me a few years ago if I would ever consider adding brass to a space I was designing, I would have a balked. Today, it’s no longer just about these lovely photo moon lamp gifts that people are placing all over their home, it’s now even becoming hard not to add a brass element to every space I’m working on. My favorite of the brass revival is brass lighting. I just can’t get enough, from my own space to those of my clients, I’m dying to use it. Brass can be used for a variety of other projects, however.

Lighting after all is one of the most important elements of a space – it can alter the entire mood and feel of a room. So to make adding some brass lighting to your space easy, I’ve pulled together some of my absolute favorites below. Because these light fixtures are made from brass, they’re pretty heavy! So, if you’re thinking of installing any, visit barnettelectrical.com/service-areas/nichols-hills-electricians/ first and find a suitable electrician for the job. The last thing you want is a botched job and have a light fixture falling down! So have an electrician install it to ensure it’s fitted properly and securely.
