General Discussion & Chat: How did you pick your name?, 1 by Copperbaron

I chose my name because, when we were building our house, I was trying to decide what kind of cabinet hardware to use on the kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are cherry and my wife wanted to use bright brass hardware. I didn't think it would look very good, but didn't know what I wanted (I'm the cook in the family, so I got to pick out everything in the kitchen - she got the rest of the house).

So, I was staring at the cabinets one day and thought "you know, copper hardware would really look good with the cabinets". Five minutes later I was on the internet at Garbe's in Oklahoma where they had copper knobs and drawer pulls for sale. I then found copper electical, light, cable, etc. plates. Then we found copper fans. Finally, I went a little overboard ordering copper items on e-bay to populate the kitchen and keeping room. Here's a photo showing some of the copper items.
