To Love it or hate it, that is the question?  At first my own thoughts toward mixed metals where not the greatest.  Sometimes I have a tendency to want to make things all matchy matchy (I know- not a real word Marie).  The more I thought about how much I didn't like it, the more I began to appreciate it.   There is something quite entrancing about the glistening of a soft candle glow on contrasting precious metals.

Metal (by definition) is any elementary substances, such as gold, silver, or copper, which are crystalline when solid and characterized by opacity, ductility, conductivity and unique luster.  (Thank you Dictionary.com).  So who doesn't want to create a beautiful romantic setting filled with crystallized, unique, lustering objects?

Blending silvers, golds, coppers and mercury glass containers, candle sticks and votive cups with soft blooms and glowing candles will dissolve the harsh nature of the metals and generate a warm and inviting environment.
