Home Renovation Trend #3:

Consider purchasing light fixtures, picture frames or candlesticks with brass accents to add a bit of sparkle to your home. Or even better, rummage through your basement you may have brass pieces in storage. It’s easy to restore the gleam to brass and decorate your home with it.

Home Renovation Trend #4:
