In recent years our homes have become a more central point in our lives than
they have been in the past. We are spending more time entertaining indoors
as well as outdoors. Therefore, the need to decorate and mirror our indoor
rooms, such as the kitchen and living room, in the outdoors is an imperative
aspect to the completion of your home. Forward thinking designers have been
focusing more and more on the outdoor living space, therefore manufacturers
are taking heed of this design aspect and producing items for dual purposes
to not only be enjoyed outside, but inside as well. The copper beverage
stand is a perfect example of one of these multifunctional products. Copper
beverage stands are an ideal item to be incorporated into any decor you have
chosen for your home or garden. The copper beverage stand is elegant in
form and versatile in function. It complements any decor and can be used not
just for its stated purpose, but many others as well. The copper beverage
stand not only works and looks great next to your pool during your barbeque;
the beautiful copper hue accentuates your indoor decor. Family photos are
artistically displayed on the of the copper beverage stand, while the bottom
may contain items such as magazines or yarn for your knitting habit. The top
can easily be used as a potted plant stand, while the bottom might hold the
various tools you use to tend to those plants. A copper beverage stand can
be utilized in many different decors. It is an essential part of an old
western theme. Its rich hue emanates a feeling of days long passed. The
copper beverage stand is also sleek enough to be used as an essential part
of a simplistic modern decor. By utilizing a copper beverage stand in your
chosen decor, it enables you to let your imagination and creativity run
wild. Remember that your decorating choices are a reflection of you and your
family’s personalities, and your guests will enjoy experiencing an aspect of
you that is otherwise unexpressed.
Copper beverage stands are made with a highly durable copper. Human use
of copper has a history more than ten thousand years old. In 1991, German
tourists that were wondering in a valley located in the Otztal Alps found
Oetzi the Iceman. Oetzi was from about 3300 BC, and carried a copper axe.
Extremely high levels of arsenic found in his hair suggest to us that he was
intimately involved in the smelting of copper. He probably made the axe
himself. It was found that adding a little tin to the copper in the smelting
process created a useful alloy. Copper was also used in many other alloys,
such as brass, speculum and cupronickel, for different purposes. When copper
is used not as an alloy, but in its pure form, it develops a beautiful green
patina that accentuates any decor.
The copper beverage stand may be allowed to age naturally. The copper
part of the copper beverage stand oxidizes and it develops a beautiful
patina, and acquires an “antique” aspect. If you wish to keep the original
bright coppery color, you must expend a minimal amount of effort and time
each year. Use a quality copper polish on the copper beverage stand first,
and then apply coat of urethane. Use of a spray form of urethane is the
easiest method.
