Our Summer Picks!! BBQ's & Beach Days

Molly CarterComment

Happy 4th of July everybody!!! Summer came in HOT this year! We don’t know about you guys.. but we are so excited about this warmer weather - because that means backyard BBQ’s, days out by the pool, and spending time outdoors with friends and family!

Let’s talk our favorite outdoor entertaining/summer essentials that are available in the shop, and online! Tons of our favorites are very limited stock, and once it’s gone - it’s gone!! So if any of our favs make it onto your must-have list, make sure to come shop them ASAP!!

We love outdoor entertaining this time of year! Whether you’ve got an outdoor pizza oven, the ultimate grill setup, or your standard charcoal barbecue - nothing beats gathering up the ones you love and dining al fresco! We’ve got everything you need to host the ultimate summer cookout!

You already know about our amazing french linen aprons, one of the very few items we consistently stock in the store - and now they come in gorgeous new summer tones!!! Slip one on, grab a set of these stunning copper mixing and serving bowls and get ready to whip up some of your favorite summer recipes! An easy way to impress your friends? Gather up some ingredients and make your very own rub or spice blend in a hand carved mortar and pestle - it’s sure to impress!!! If you’re following us on Instagram (and we hope you are!) check out todays stories for one of our favorite rub recipes featured in one of the fun cookbooks we have here at the shop!

Last month in our Father’s Day email blast, we introduced you to Christina of House of Quail! Her handmade charcuterie and serving boards are absolute showstoppers at any gathering! We have a limited stock available, including these dreamy pizza peels!! Picture this.. you’re serving up a handmade pizza - on a handmade pizza peel! Yes please! Sorry you didn’t get to meet the artist herself last weekend - she was out with covid, but great news! She has rebooked for August 20th, and she will be here in person with more lovely products to shop!

Another easy way to step up your entertaining game this Summer.. vibrant table settings!! We have a limited stock of these hand-printed placemats, napkins, and more! In some seriously fun colors and patterns! Mix and match to achieve the perfect look! Peep that new marble charcuterie board with the glass lid! Keep the flies away while you sip that rosé! Got a summer wedding to go to? Our marble boards and copper glasses make great gifts for any newlywed couple!

Speaking of things you absolutely need this summer.. There are a few things we won’t leave the house without when we’re ready to hit the beach! We’ve got tons of baskets of all shapes and sizes, they’re just as cute as they are convenient! Perfect for storage, taking to farmers markets, or packing up for the beach! Here’s what we’ve got in our beach baskets!

We’re also grabbing our favorite handmade Domino Set (snag one here today!), fun for the whole family! Make sure to bring an apron - our vintage Denim Aprons are perfect for a day of barbecuing and drinks by the water!

Molly’s Tip: Freeze some oversized ice cubes a day or two before you head to your destination! Fill up a ziplock baggie and stash them in your cooler for a quick cooldown! They’ll keep your drinks cool all day long!

They won’t fit in a basket… But these amazing foldable chairs are the perfect way to lounge at the beach, the pool, or pack them up and take them with you to your favorite outdoor entertaining space (Hello summer concerts!) For added comfort for your outdoor lounging, we have a limited stock of outdoor sunbathing cushions! They have the perfect pop of color and add beachy resort vibes to any outdoor space!

Shopping Local This Holiday Season! Brass + Oak Home

Molly CarterComment

Can you believe it? November is already halfway over! It's been a great couple weeks here at the shop, we have everything looking festive and cozy, and we are loving seeing everyone as you start coming out for your holiday shopping! 

Speaking of which, we wanted to mention something that is very important to us as a small business, and that is shopping small & shopping local for the holiday season! Last year was something none of us expected, many of us spent our holidays away from our loved ones and friends, and it was tough! Things certainly aren't completely back to normal yet, but we are getting closer every day, and feeling so excited about a holiday season filled with gatherings & gift giving! 

One thing we know we'll be doing this year since we don't have to do all of our shopping online, is supporting other small businesses like our own. Main Street in Placerville is such a magical place this time of year! We have everything you need here for home decor, entertaining, and thoughtful gift shopping. Many of the shops here (including us!) feature local artists and handmade goods - so when you support us, you support them, and we think that's really important this time of year! 

If you haven't popped into the shop yet this month, you are missing out! We have so many great gift ideas, including a bunch of pre-made gift sets that are sure to wow this year! A lot of folks assume we're mostly just home decor & design, but we can assure you… we are so much more! The shop is filled with items for everyone on your list, from the home chef to the manly man, we have you covered. 

Have you seen our new handmade ceramics from local artist Cristina Arizmendi? They are so unique and beautiful, not to mention functional! Not only do we have her mugs and candle holders, we also have kitchen accessories like sponge holders & spoon rests. They make perfect gifts for the homebody in your life, and you can only get them here!

Our glass canister gift sets are a shop favorite. Not only are you getting something filled with fun goodies, it all comes "wrapped" in a beautiful glass canister! This year you can snag one filled with our favorite coffee from Totem Coffee Roasters, pasta from Winterhill, or let us help you pick the perfect items to fill your own!

We also have pre-made gift sets for the charcuterie lovers in your life, featuring beautiful boards and books, our favorite french linen tea towels, and other accessories you need to step up your spread making game! Each pre-made gift set is perfectly put together with everything you need + decorated to look adorable! Either a bow or a flashy ornament is sure to be on top.

Speaking of charcuterie, we're getting ready to host our last big gathering event of the year! Our Holiday Gather & Wrap Event is this coming Thursday, November 18th from 5:30-8pm. There’s very few tickets left, & they’re selling quick, so make sure to call the shop ASAP if you’re interested in attending!

We’re so thrilled to be hosting some of our favorite local small businesses for this holiday season. Here in El Dorado County, we are all about community - Main Street or Fairgrounds festivities, local farmers markets, local businesses & restaurants, we’re here for it all. One of the many great things about living in a small town like ours, is that sense of community & the many talented small business owners we have here. Especially after last year, we are so excited to shop small for the holidays this year & help to support our favorite local businesses.

Make sure to come by and check out our pre-made gift sets, & all our other new holiday goodies! We are open Monday through Saturday, 10:30-6pm. We’d love to see you!

WE TRUELY APPRECIATE YOUR LOCAL SUPPORT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

BEST Sale Yet! And Meet the Brass + Oak Babes!

Molly CarterComment

It’s about that time friends!! Our semi-annual floor sale is coming up next week on August 20th + 21st! We feel a little like a broken record but our sales just keep getting better and we are having so much fun getting everything together for our BEST sale yet!!

Our team of talented boss babes have been having a blast behind the scenes dreaming up fun discounts and details for the sale. Which reminded us that we haven’t properly introduced you to the team that keeps Brass + Oak fresh and fun and your favorite place to shop!!

Let’s start with our newest addition to the team, the lovely and sweet Ania (she says “like Tonya without the T.”) She’s such a great fit, it feels like she’s been here forever! Ania was born in Poland and lived in So Cal but is now loving our El Dorado County trees! She is a mom of three girls with a passion for fashion and design. Ania owns a sustainable vintage Instagram and Etsy shop and has a deep interest in classic literature and political science. She is an Army Veteran. We are loving her design eye and fun vintage fashions in the shop - she’s currently around Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays so pop in for some serious outfit goals!!

We asked Ania to pick her favorite item that will be available for our upcoming sale. Without hesitation, she took us to her absolute favorite piece on the floor - the gorgeous Rothco chair. This beauty has luxe and durable leather fabrication, beautiful details, and it swivels!! Functional, so stylish, and fun . . . if you love it like Ania does, do NOT hesitate. This chair is going to find a home quickly and so we encourage you to come on down to the shop prior to the sale with measurements and pictures of your space. Do you have the perfect throw pillow? Bring it down and make sure it works prior to the craziness of the sale.

You may recognize Marie from our social media stories and posts. She is our fantastic new shop manager and we are thanking our lucky stars for her! Marie also owns her own Etsy shop (loving the creativity from our team) where she sells her handmade macrame/fiber art. Marie loves bluegrass and southern gothic country music. She is big on camping and kayaking and loves shopping for vintage goods! Marie is fun, smart, and just so cool. Our customers have been loving her and we are enjoying the fun and happy vibe she’s brought to the shop!

Marie’s sale pick is a lot like Marie - fun, gorgeous, and fabulous - the Skylar accent chair! This floor sample is neutral and comfy but with absolutely luxurious gold legs. It’s truly a mix of California cool and sophisticate elegance. And even better? The fabric on the Skylar is “KID-PROOF” a signature performance fabric that our Rowe line of upholstery offers which repels stains and makes spot treating a breeze! Just like the rest of the pieces, we know you all will love her and she’s going to be in high demand.

Meet Jamie! She’s the voice and photographer behind the scenes and takes care of the social media and marketing arenas for the shop. Jamie is a baseball and yoga-obsessed mom of 3 boys who loves the chance to share all the amazing things going on at Brass + Oak. Jamie and her family are San Diego transplants and who bought their dream A-frame in Camino in January. She loves hiking, paddle-boarding, reading, live music, cooking and WINE . . . you can see why El Dorado county has been a fantastic fit!

Jamie’s pick for the sale is a little different - she is all about those gorgeous rugs! She actually ordered an amazing custom rug from the January floor sale and now has her eye on a few of our one of a kind vintage rugs that are going to be discounted with the sale . . . and maybe a performance runner or two to keep those boys from sliding down the hallways during Camino snowstorms! She loves the unique details that come with the vintage area rugs and will be joining you all in line for the sale Friday morning!

And you all know and love her, she needs no introduction . . . Molly is the heart of Brass + Oak. Our ambitious boss babe and mama to be, Molly is a beloved local Interior Designer and the owner of B+O. Molly is a hometown girl - she grew up locally before spending many years living and working in California’s most energetic and inspiring cities - Los Angeles & San Francisco. She returned to Placerville bringing her concept of high design and an ultrachic aesthetic. Molly is married to Ben, owner of Placerville’s beloved Heyday Cafe and they have been getting all the parenting practice in with two cutest Boston Terriers - Hudson and Revere.

Brass + Oak is a unique retail experience - an opportunity to shop the high-end furniture, lighting, rugs, and accessories that Molly sources in her design projects. And next week our lucky customers will score amazing deals and finds as we make room in the shop for all new pieces coming!

Molly’s pick for the sale is an easy one - she already has it in her home! Molly and Ben love the Bradford sofa and since they are both taller, the higher seat with the foam cushion make it easier to get up . . . without sacrificing comfort as the Bradford has a down back. It has a beautiful swooped arm and is a slipcover also in the signature “KID-PROOF” fabric so it’s not only beautiful but easy to take care of. Do not sleep of this pick - we are so excited to offer you this beloved piece at an unheard of discount!

We can’t wait to see you all at the sale next week. Don’t forget August 20+21st. HUGE DISCOUNTS. Every item on sale. A celebration of our small business and local support. An opportunity for our customers to shop designer curated furniture and accents without the extremely long wait times that are plaguing every industry. We know you are going to love this best sale yet!

June is here . . . Father's Day Gifts!

Molly CarterComment

Happy June - summer came in HOT this year! It’s been awesome to see your smiling faces on Main Street and we are so thrilled to see so many new businesses arriving and some of our favorites expanding and refreshing as we look forward to a fun summer in Placerville. We have a lot going on at Brass + Oak too that we are excited to share with you.

It’s time to talk Father’s Day! We all are so grateful for the awesome dads who have truly brought their a-game this year through the ups and downs of distance learning, cancelled plans, and extra time at home. We know you are too so let’s show them some love with a thoughtful gift he’ll get a ton of use out of.

We have incredible items to stock his bar - from bar tool sets and recipe books to actual barstools and a bar cart, we’ve got every single thing he could want! Ice molds are very popular for guys who like to drink scotch and bourbon. Carry on cocktail kits are cute for a plane trip but also useful for camping or tailgating. We have gorgeous new wine keys and bottle coasters for the wine-loving dad, make sure you pick up a local El Dorado County wine to go with. And whether he’s got one or not, we think a new gorgeous cocktail shaker is always useful if he’s a mixologist.

Our hand-made in Los Angeles line of games and trays are still getting so much love in the shop and they are disappearing quickly!! The husband and wife team behind these gorgeous items really get the young hip dad - who doesn’t love corn-hole, dominos, backgammon? These items are not only gorgeous, they are functional and sustainably made. The paint won’t fade in the sun on the corn-hole and the board games come in the cutest and most functional little boxes that are fantastic for camping, the pool, or sticking in his suitcase for any summer travel.

We just got in a large restock of denim aprons with some new styles available - nothing screams dad loves to bbq more than a dark denim apron with pockets for all his tools. But not only did we get three different styles of aprons (ladies do not miss out on the fantastic midi denim apron style,) but we also got the greatest little pot-holder ends perfect for cast iron camping or grill pans. Our denim placemats look amazing on both indoor and outdoor tables BUT our absolute favorite item that just arrived are our new denim log carrying bags! These will be fantastic later this year when the temps go back down but for now, these are amazing for campfires or fire-pits in the backyard . . . we can smell the s’mores already!

We have so many amazing gifts - charcuterie boards, our leather woven poufs, picture frames and so much more. We can help you order custom furniture and rugs. Or we can help you put together a basket of all his favorite things. Or if you are stumped, everyone appreciates a gift card! Swing by and let us give you some ideas!

Memorial Day - let's BBQ!

Molly CarterComment

Can you believe summer is right around the corner?! School is winding down and the temps are going UP! We’ve loved chatting with you all popping by to pick up Teachers & Grad gifts. It’s clear we all have a very happy summer on the brain and we have some fantastic new finds in the shop to get it started out right!

Memorial Day is coming quickly - May 31st is right around the corner and there is nothing better to start the summer out right than a BBQ with friends. Get started planning by sprucing up your outdoor space - a new table runner, an outdoor rug, some bright and fun vases go a long way to make dining al fresco a more elegant and fun experience. Don’t forget to update your placemats, serving platters, and glassware - we have some amazing decanters and charcuterie boards that will compliment a beautiful meal outside.

It’s not summer without some serious fun and we are so excited about the newest items that just arrived in the shop. Perfect for BBQs, we are so in love with our amazing new corn hole sets! Everyone’s favorite outdoor party game got a chic makeover and comes in a black and white or vibrant fun mod print. We also have backgammon, dominos, mancala, trays, and coasters in so many fun prints that give us all the feels! All of these items are handmade in LA with an eye on sustainability and eco-kindness. We can’t wait to see pics of these beauties stealing the show at all your summer events!

When getting your space get-together ready do not forget a well stocked bar! It might seem like some margaritas or wine spritzers are all you need but don’t underestimate the fun and functionality of a beautiful cocktail set, some french linen napkins, a funky wine opener, or important tools like muddlers and shakers. We have new items for the bar arriving daily and if you have trouble finding a home for these important hosting items, don’t stress - we have the world’s cutest bar cart to save the day! Need some cocktail inspo? We’ve got several amazing cocktail books with incredible recipes that are also too pretty to not display!

Finally for those of you lucky ones who get to attend a summer BBQ at someone else’s home, pick up a beautiful vase or basket for a plant as a host’s gift. It lasts longer than a bottle of wine and you are sure to be invited back!

Mother's Day 2021

Molly CarterComment

If you are anything like us, you are feeling relieved, excited, and overwhelmed as we return to our new “normal.” Daily we start to reopen schools and sports, shopping and dining, and there are constant little signs that life is coming back at us. . . quickly! But also if you are like us, you are feeling a ton of gratitude for those who carried us through this last year; zooming and punting with each new change and keeping things as normal as possible so that families and businesses could keep up with the constant change and our families could continue to thrive. We love you moms!

It’s time to spoil her! Boy does she deserve it. We want to celebrate all she has carried you through this year, but also the fact that hosting and FUN that we’ve craved and waited forever for are now rapidly approaching. We may be biased but we think she is going to love this return to normal and the many ways you can love on her and celebrate all the things that we’ve been waiting for.

Interested? Stumped? We got you! Check out social media, pop into the shop and chat with us, or shoot us a message to take advantage of our expertise and make sure she feels as loved and appreciated as she deserves this year. We are pretty darn good at putting together sweet gift baskets that honor her passions and interests and a friendly reminder that both Teacher’s Appreciation Week and Nurses Appreciation Week are both celebrated the first 2 weeks of May as well. Consider grouping a few of your faves together to give her something she truly wants and values over the boring Starbucks gift card. We know you know she deserves it.

xoxo,

Fa La La La La Shop Small Holiday Gift Guide

Molly Carter1 Comment
Sylvie Photo

Attention! Christmas is approaching at a rapid pace and with small businesses being the most impacted by the pandemic, we want to take this time to give back. Did you know that 67 cents per dollar stays local when you shop small? This means that for every dollar you spend locally, at a small business, 67 cents goes back into that local community — benefiting parks, schools, museums, libraries and so much more! This is a really big deal and a really important thing. The economy is already being impacted in a million ways, so use these holidays to give back to your community and at the same time get amazing, personal gifts for your friends and family.

With that being said we created a gift guide to help you with the hardest part… We know holiday shopping can be a little bit hectic and overwhelming at times. We want to make it easier for you, so we put together this gift guide of all our favorite products in store to make shopping a breeze!

New Furniture Drop!

Molly CarterComment

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anyone else starting to feather your nest for fall? Well now is the PERFECT time to invest in any new furniture for your home. For those who don’t already know, you can buy furniture off our floor, or you have the option to place a special order for upholstery if you want the option to customize your dream piece— whether you’re in the market for a new sofa, sectional, ottoman or accent chair!

I will be sharing some of the fun, new pieces that just hit our floor and also go over the selection process so you know what to expect when looking to furnish your space.

IMG_3898.JPG

New Accent Chairs!

We love picking out new fabrics for new pieces of furniture we order for the shop. We really try to pick fabrics that can work for many different styles, but we also try to pick fun + unique colors and patterns that fit our store vibe and our 4 store design styles:

California Casual

Modern Mountain

Mid-Century Modern

Classic Lux

We love pushing the envelope when it comes to design and showing our clients how they can add a little bit of color to their space, whether that be through the fabrics they choose, area rugs or throw pillows. A pop of color, texture, and warmth in fabric can completely transform a space. As you scroll through this blog see if you can point out the different styles mentioned above. Note: You might notice more than 1 piece can be fitting for more than 1 design style.

New Month, New Furniture, New Everything!

IMG_5853 2.JPG

This white sofa is the slipcovered Bradford sofa with a bench style cushion. (trust me, I know what you’re thinking…”There is NO WAY I can have a white sofa in my house”. But, have you ever heard of ‘Kid-proof’ fabrics? Kid Proof was literally created with the modern family in mind.

Come check out first hand the largest selection of performance fabrics in the market that not only focus on durability, but clean-ability and beauty as well. We have such a great selection to choose from for anyone who is worried about spills and being able to easily clean up any messes on the fly.

Want a slipcover that you can throw in the wash yourself? Ask us about our ‘Washable’ slipcover options!

Tired of your ole coffee table? Or want something that can also be used as a cocktail table? Check out the Juno ottoman that just hit our floor. We are IN LOVE! Don’t like the fabric, choose between the 800+ options we have in shop! The options are endless.

IMG_3930.JPG

Here is two of our absolute favorite pieces: the Miles ottoman and Rothko swivel leather chair currently sitting in our retail window. The Rothko is one of our most popular swivel chairs and in this leather, she’s a stunner! You sit in this chair and instantly will not want to get up, its that cozy!

The miles ottoman is also a fan favorite. It comes in two sizes, this is the smaller version. We had in it leather that we absolutely loved, and since it went to it’s forever home, we knew we wanted to bring it back! This time we decided to pick a fun yet neutral plaid fabric for ya’ll to see.

Come prepared + we’ll help with the rest!

When looking for new furniture, it’s super helpful if you bring the following with you: photos, dimensions and any accent pillows or existing color-pallets you’ll be working with. This will help us get an idea of your existing space and offer you the best options for your lifestyle.

Now, let’s create that dream sofa or dream chair you’ve always wanted.

STYLE. Determine what style you prefer. Upholstered or slipcovered? Washable? Round arm or straight arm? You have the ability to customize style aspects to suit your needs.

FABRIC. I know it can be overwhelming when looking at fabrics, but we can help you narrow it down pretty quickly just by learning more about your lifestyle, whether you have kids, fur babies, husbands, or any other factors that play a major role in your life at home. Velvet, linen, cotton, suede… nearly 1000 sumptuous custom fabrics are at your fingertips. Whether your design style is modern, casual or transitional - we have a fabric for you! 

We can also order you free fabric swatches that you can take home and see how they would look like in your space and in your own lighting.

CUSTOM OPTIONS. You also have the option to choose what kind of seat you prefer (2-seat or bench seat), cushion type, wood finish, and nailhead if applicable.

Have I mentioned all custom furniture is made in the USA? You heard that right. Right now, due to COVID, special orders are taking roughly 14-16 weeks for production so if you’re wanting new furniture for the new year, now is the perfect time to start the selection process. Feel free to make an appointment with us or stop by anytime during normal business hours.

We’ll leave you with some of our new fav fabrics/pallets to drool over! And if you need help designing more of your space, we can also help you select area rugs, lighting + wallpaper!
