And because of that, I've been dreaming of ways I could bring a bit of this glam element into my little apartment... the solution? A brass headboard:
I've had this little cutie bookmarked for months over on Etsy, and it just sold yesterday. Boo.
I discovered this one over on 1st Dibs, but it seems a bit too blocky for me.
I'm not 100% sold on the idea of a metal headboard vs. fabric as I do end up doing work in bed from time to time and I want it to be comfy, but the way that brass pops off the walls is so gorgeous! Any other ideas on how to incorporate it into the home?
Those headboards are so pretty! I'll keep my eyes peeled for you as far as brass goes...I'm trying to find a brass lamp..and picture frames! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that headboard and it does remind me of the railing in the TB store on Madison. I think I would be willing to prop up a few extra pillows for comfort to own this one. So Hollywood...I don't have a 1st dibs log in so I don't know the price...a lot??
ReplyDeleteLOVE those headboards. I would die for that railing in my home. Brass is definitely having a moment.
ReplyDeletea brass headboard is a dream come true (no pun intended)!
ReplyDeleteThose headboards are fabulous!!

Happened to see this on Raleigh NC craigslist tonight: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/fuo/2608366345.html
ReplyDeleteA good price but pickup only ... of course anything is probably negotiable.
That first brass headboard is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove BRASS and love the headboards.
ReplyDeleteOh my!
You MUST get one!

Why don't you use a brass etagere or nightstands instead... Worlds away has fabulous ones. That way you can still hacve a comfy upholstered headboard.
ReplyDeleteThat railing is gorgeous and it just looks like Tori! Love her! xo
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous, and would certainly add a nice touch to any house!

Her new railing is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCassandra- Would you consider doing something with Arteriors Gilded Open Work mirrors? Three of them would be so fab as a headboard. So it's gilded an not brass... but hey that's even better in my book.

Hmmm...how about mounting it behind a a dresser? Like dresser bling? Or even a sofa?
ReplyDeleteso lovely -- thanks so much, cassandra :)
ReplyDeletethe etsy headboard is -- shame it was sold! and yes, that brass railing was spectacular and added such a wonderful layer of elegance
naomi, what an interesting thought! i'll have to check them out in person when i'm in high point and see if they might work!
ReplyDeleteanon - maybe i can get a raleigh friend to go snatch it and ship it?? ;)
ReplyDeletei hadn't thought to look on craigslist at all, but good idea!
I've been loving brass lately too, it looks so good with darker colors. Have a sciolari brass chandelier in our bedroom which looks great against the downpipe walls. And a brass floor lamp in our living room. Also have been trying to find reasonably priced brass bathroom fixtures...no luck. They are either ugly or $$$. I think a brass headboard looks great but wouldn't be very comfy.
ReplyDeleteI will always heart brass!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the bottom one better I think!
Love Love LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love those brass headboards - but like you, I often work, read, blog, in bed and need it to be comfy! I think a guest bedroom would be the perfect spot!
ReplyDeleteI love this bed, and of coarse scoured CG for one. This is a fantastic idea for a headboard. I like using brass as a coffee table of alot of nightstands that have brass accents.
ReplyDeleteI'm "anon" who lives in Raleigh. If I can help you just let me know ... saw you are coming to High Point (that's about 1 hour from Raleigh). Don't have a blog ... just a blog stalker who loves interior design. I bet Jamie at isuwanee would store for you if you want me to pick up for you and take to her store. - Allison (allisong@velaagency.com)
ReplyDeleteI found a pair of vintage brass pineapple lamps at a local yard sale, only $10 for the pair. I have cool colors in my home (turquoise, other blues, greige, red splashes, with a lot of silver accents, and was afraid the brass would not look right. What do you think?
ReplyDeletehow about a fabric headboard with brass trim? or nailheads? Yum!
ReplyDeleteLove the headboards! But as another way to incorporate brass in your home I would suggest a lamp. I have a vintage brass lamp hanging over my kitchen table, and Tom Dixon have some pretty awesome ones too: http://www.tomdixon.net/products/eu/void-light-brass
ReplyDeleteI actually have the first headboard for sale in my flea market booth, right outside of raleigh nc, & I also have it listed on craigslist. I can send you pictures if you want.
