I ♥ Copper

I am liking the copper trend very much. Whether it is copper in an accessory or seeing it in an entire wall ... just bring it on ... don't be ashamed of pulling your copper pieces from the back of your mom's kitchen cabinets, use them show them and know you are in the hip.

Fun to find these two DIY projects made of Copper. A beautiful mobile how to make a copper mobile by the crafty sisters and this copper candle holder by Jennifer from an A Merry Mishap.

I didn't see the actual issue myself but I believe Dutch magazine VT-wonen had a nice article about Copper and Pink in their april issue with styling by Marianne Luning and photography by Anne de Leeuw. I enjoyed seeing the Lus Lamp by Ontwerpduo for Ontwerplabel Vij5 which is available at BijzonderMooi. 

Do you like the trend as much as I do or is this really not your style, would love to hear it! ~ irene xoxo

I have a collection of copper kitchenware my grandmother gave me. I love the look of it in my kitchen.

I adore copper but it isn't that easy to find. I have a copper (ish) hanging lamp which I bought in 1995 from Ikea that is still going strong and a large vase but I would love a copper wall. Copper makes my toes curl with pleasure.

Interesting reading this as we've not had much interest in our copper serving utensils and bowls. We only sourced a small amount, maybe they will pick up on the back of this trend... I'm not sure people are unsure about food and copper together, or perhaps the texture.. I love beaten copper, if used in small areas like a section of a wall or unit. I saw a wall of copper coins as well, great idea for all that loose change!

I adore copper and have bits and pieces of it throughout my home. I love the warmness that it adds to a room, and it's my go to metal of choice for the outdoors. The verdigris and patina it develops is beautiful.

The first picture is beautiful and simple, I love this small kitchen corner.

Thank you for sharing :)

Hm...copper looks quite tempting when it's polished...

The copper wall is stunning. I've got a lot of exposed copper pipes at home and am still deciding whether to box them in, paint them, or (what I'd prefer to do) just polish them up and leave them on display. I am aware the latter will take a lot of work though!
