Copper in the Kitchen (& My Thrifted Copper Finds)

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Rumour has is that after a few years of brass bliss, copper is the new trending metal. While I will forever love brass and gold, I've always been a fan of copper as well. It's warm, rosey tone feels so rich and somehow nostalgic. Maybe that is owing to the adorable little set of copper measuring cups that my mother has had hanging in her kitchen for as long as I can remember. <br />For me, copper is a natural choice for the kitchen, providing a warm colour to a space that can often read cold. </div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;
