Door knobs, light fixtures, sink faucets, etc. And yes, it's the shiny kind.<br /><br />Honestly, I am not a fan, but it would be totally impractical to change the entire house when you know the decorators will eventually change their minds on what's in. <br /><br />I do like the "old" brass look though and am glad to see that brass is coming back. Maybe my fixtures won't look quite so dated then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355964629556443461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780084414817956315.post-91027982416153852762011-05-16T16:34:37.399-07:002011-05-16T16:34:37.399-07:00Nice tutorial!
