Here's a design question for the forum: I'm updating a home built in the 90s.

Brass everywhere: door handles, faucets, etc. We've just finished doing a minor revamp of an upstairs bath where we replaced the brass with brushed chrome faucets, cabinet hardware, etc to create a spa-like feel. Now, those brass door handles are standing out like neon signs that say "I'm a relic!" . Should we go ahead and change out the door knobs (which I'm completely on board with)...and what do you do about the door HINGES...? I've noticed that many new homes have that rubbed bronze used throughout for door hardware, which I think is not a bad idea. (But I wouldn't want to mix that with the chrome inside the bath I don't think - do you?) Let me know what you think - and what you're seeing out there! Thanks so much for your input!

    There is a line of products at your Hobby Lobby stores called Rub & Buff. It is a metalic wax product that can help for your hinges. Comes in most metal hues.
