gold and brass

ok joking, but it is 24 karat!

I feel a tide change, a surge of gold and brass..... still house hunting and still walking into people's houses of white and beige with some silver fixtures and fittings. I know this is old ground, I have been here before, and I don't have anything against white and beige per say, I just don't think it can feel homely in everyroom of every house. To add to my woes, I don't believe I have seen a gold or brass tap set either in any bathroom or kitchen post dating 1991. While silver is great, modern and sophisticated - I don't think we should look past a bit of bling....
