We will be hosting our Semi Annual Sale on Friday 1/27, and Saturday 1/28, from 10:30-6pm!

We will be offering great discounts on special order pieces (which are ALWAYS worth the wait!), and this year… ALL of our upholstered furniture items are available right off the floor at amazing prices!!! All of our upholstery pieces are proudly made in the USA with high quality materials, something we know and value a lot here. We only sell what we would put in our own home… So if you're looking to get your hands on a new piece of furniture for the new year, buying off the floor is the best way!! We also have beautiful lighting available off the floor, one of a kind authentic Turkish Kilim area rugs & runners, special order area rugs at all sizes (including the performance variety) home accessories, and so much more at big discounts up to 50% OFF!!! Special order lead times have been cut in half!!! - it typically only takes around 12-16 weeks to receive your upholstered piece if your chosen fabric or leather is in stock (and most of them are)! That means now is the perfect time to place your special orders to get them just in time for the spring cleaning bug to bite!

Let’s talk tips on how to prepare for the sale:

2. Always measure your space! Many of our sofas and area rugs are available in different sizes, and we want to make sure you are confident that you get one that fits just right. 

3. Take pictures of your space! We are happy to take a look at any photos you bring - the more you bring, the better we can help you!

4. Think about how you use your space! Which direction do you want to face, how many people do you want to seat comfortably, what type of materials would would best (casual, kid/pet friendly, glamorous, etc.)

5. Bring in those swatches! We have a ton of fabrics to choose from, and making sure the one you love will go well in your space is key. Do you have a pillow from an existing piece you want to coordinate with? Do you have a paint swatch you can bring in, a flooring sample, etc.  

6. Are there any obstacles in the space? Heating vents, south facing windows, floor outlets you want exposed? We can help you work around these, but if we don’t know about them we wont be able to guide you…

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!

If you’ve been following us for a while now, you know how obsessed we are with Turkish Towels! Lightweight, super absorbent, easy to stash in any bag or basket, and we have all new colors available just in time for the summer months! 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!

We hope everybody has an amazing, fun, and safe 4th of July weekend filled with friends and family! Whatever your plans are this weekend, and the rest of the summer months - we hope you’ll come see us and check out some of the amazing summer products we have in stock!

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.

We’ve been busy over here at Brass + Oak, getting the store ready for the holidays. It may seem early to some, but preparation is key for a fun and festive holiday season!

Last month, Brass + Oak hosted our first event since 2020. We waited a long time and took proper precautions, and we are happy to say that the event was a hit! Many familiar faces and new friends too, came out to support us & some of our favorite local small businesses. It was certainly a night to remember! Kerry from The Grazing Grouse demonstrated how to put together a crowd-pleasing charcuterie board, our shop owner & professional interior designer Molly Carter of Molly Erin Designs put together a festive fall table-scape perfect for holiday entertaining, all topped off with a beautiful flower arrangement demonstration by Mel of Placerville Flowers on Main, & amazing wines from Delfino Farms & EDIO Vineyards. The entire evening was captured beautifully by Tanya of Tanya Gallagher Photo! We hope to do more charcuterie events in the near future, & we’d love to see you there!
