I know many people are muffling their woes on having gotten rid of the “hideous brass fixtures” in their home, because brass is returning to the interior design scene with a vengeance as one of the hottest design trends in 2013, and carrying over in to 2014. Adding a classy touch to metals, brass is popping up in kitchens, baths, home decor ! I’ve seen beautiful brass pictures cropping up all across the internet: check out my Pinterest for a few favorites. There are quite a few blogs and articles out there promoting the beauty of the somewhat vintage material, and a lot of high profile projects are taking the details on. We have yet to convince a client to invest in the brassy beauty, but they add a bit of old world glamour to any room.

Check out a few of these published articles with some stunning pictures of brass in action :

Client Testimonials

"Overall, we received excellent value for our money from New England Design & Construction. They worked within our budget, stayed on the agreed time schedule and provided good quality work. On a daily basis, they were reasonable about daily clean up and construction noise, friendly to my children, and good about communicating what would be happening each week. Two particular highlights include bringing to our attention a serious safety issue from work done by a previous owner and providing a truly innovative design for getting a stairway into a difficult space. We have already recommended NEDC to several friends for future construction needs."

NEDC is a great choice for a busy working professional. They accommodated my schedule for design appointments and took the time to understand my goals. I felt very comfortable with the lead carpenter and subcontractors and appreciated their focus on minimizing disruption to my condo unit and building. Additionally, their focus on client satisfaction/feedback and continuous improvement is refreshing. Although renovating is not always fun, NEDC helps to make it worth the time, effort, and cost.
