Use 'bring' if you or someone with you is accompanying the object in question.
Use 'take' if you are not accompanying that object.

Vandor is correct. Bring something to someone and take something away. This can be applied to the same object though. For example, "I will take the DVD player from the den. I will bring the DVD player to Ken's house so we can watch a movie.

Use take to mean carrying something out of your house and use bring when you mean that it comes into your house.
You take out the garbage and bring in the mail.

You use "bring" if you are telling somebody to come to you (i.e., "Bring me the spoon"); use "take" if you are going somewhere (i.e., "I am going to take the chair with me")
