Switching out bronze for brass

I still haven't solved my fabric dilemma, in fact I found 3 more fabrics I like.  I am waiting on the swatches to arrive to make my final decision. My cabinets are being installed in 2 weeks (yay, can't wait) in the meantime I have been shopping for hardware.  

My initial thought was to go with all bronze since my current light fixtures are, and we recently purchased a bronze kitchen faucet. However, I realized that the look isn't working for me any longer and I want to do something entirely different for my kitchen.  



That picture was taken shortly before everything was removed.  As you can see the light fixture, the faucet and the cabinet hardware are all bronze.  It just makes for a very dark kitchen even though this room is flooded with light.  The granite counter top will be the same but now I want to add brass.









I've ordered the pulls in various sizes depending upon the size of the cabinet or drawer.  I have so many things planned for my dream kitchen and it's nice to finely see it coming together.

Spotlight on Etsy

     Alright, let's give this Blogging thing another go around.  I've missed it and yet I'm worried about all the pressures that fellow Bloggers have recently been writing about.  This for me, is just for fun.  I don't want paid advertisers and I recently turned down adding a thing called 'adsense' to my blog.  Essentially ads located on my blog.  What motivated me again is when a favorite Blogger wrote about how much fun it has been to document the last 5 years of her home and more importantly her family.  That was my light bulb moment, as Oprah would say.
     Today I want to bring you some brass eye candy found for sale on Etsy.  (Not sponsored by Etsy or any sellers).  If you noticed a lot of blogs as well as magazines are featuring a lot of brass.  I've been on the hunt as well to incorporate this look into my own home.

I recently won at auction a pair identical to these candle holders shown below.
 
















Now can anyone recommend a good Brass cleaner?
