Pineapple Crush–A Hot Vintage Trend

Brass Pineapple via DaphneBleu

When it comes to vintage brass decor, one of the hottest collectible pieces on the market right now is pineapple decor.  Brass pineapples started REegaining their popularity over a year ago and although vintage styles are the best, big box brands have recognized the trend and are beginning to knock-off the designs in other materials and finishes.

Pineapples have always be the symbol of hospitality and here in the south pineapple images can be found on just about every type of home decor you can imagine.  Vintage brass pineapples add a new twist to decor because they are classic and traditional while at the same time fun and whimsical.  Here’s some inspiration for you…

Since brass pineapple decor is steadily going up in price and has become highly collectible, I recommend you keep your eyes peeled at thrift stores and flea markets these pieces.  And don’t pass up a tarnished or oxidized piece because a little Bar Keepers Friend or Brasso will work wonders on the finish.

Best of Etsy: Bold & Brass

I written about my love of Brass on several occasions and find myself drawn to it more and more each day.   Whether it’s a bold accent or a simple detail, brass adds such a sophisticated and polished feel to a piece of furniture or the decor of a room.

Getting to Know Georgia and few thrifty finds!

Ever since the weather turned warmer I’ve been itching to do some thrift shopping.  Wanting to explore new shopping spots, the hub and I have hit the road the last two weekends to explore new areas and new shops.

This past weekend we made the short drive (about 45 minutes) to Newnan and visited a couple of shops including The Bone Yard.  I’ve read about The Bone Yard and have always wanted to go check it out.  I mean the name alone makes it worth a road trip.
