Seriously, so hot! I feel I need to write about brass this week because we are quoting (and selling) so much brass this summer. I’m not sure what’s going on, but brass is beautifying homes, cabinetry and vent ducts via Modern Metal at a steady pace. It’s thrilling for us because it’s such an incredible […]
When I founded Modern Metal six years ago, my goal was to make the custom process with Modern Metal straightforward, easy, and efficient with a resulting product that would be personal and customized to your aesthetic. I do believe we are accomplishing that! As with any bespoke product, pricing correlates. Our work is made of […]
Let’s be honest. Do we want these to go away or to stay? I do realize that vents are something in a space that no one truly cares about and even more so wants to think about and deal with. Somehow, I’ve founded a business that involves thinking about vents more than I ever dreamed […]
What a treat it was for me to visit the Pasadena Showcase House of Design 2023! This was my first time attending, and I was honored to have Modern Metal be participating as a vendor.

This is a project we did years ago with Altanta designer extraordinaire Janie Wilburn of The Jane Group. Janie is one of my favorite people to work with, and she always brings true southern hospitality and spirit to our creative collaborations. This job was super fun! It is resurfacing now because all of a sudden […]
We are currently working on a project with a local San Francisco architect who is using our standard line of floor grilles, Accentuate Foor Vents, throughout a Northern California residence. As many of our customers do, he’s supplementing it with a few custom items as some duct openings are odd sizes, or a bit funky. […]
I just returned from a productive two days in New York City with our local sales representative Cindy Rossell. It was so great to be back out and about in The Big Apple, interacting with designers in person, and showing off our line. Cindy filled our days with fabulous appointments (and meals), which of course […]
What are louvers and when do we need them? Curious customers want to know! This is a great question, and I love the opportunity to share my HVAC knowledge with you. It’s still not my favorite topic of interest, but hey, gotta embrace the technicalities behind my design career. Louvers are those horizontal or vertical […]
How to convey how great this is? I realize a bathroom fan cover doesn’t sound that exciting…..but it truly is so cool! Just like our grilles, most people don’t realize they need these until they get one. Then they come back to us and want to fill their entire home with them. Even more satisfying […]
