Mirror Images



I've been noticing how interesting the reflections are in the mirrors in my home.  I decided to snap some mirror images.  If you're interested in which room is reflected, I've highlighted a link to the post within the text.
This modern geometric mirror is resting on my family room mantel.  Part of my chevron-backed bookcases is reflected there.




The convex sunburst mirror in my foyer gives a somewhat distorted image of my stairwell.



My shell map and my chinoiserie chandelier as well as my painted branches reflect in my greek key mirror on my mantel in my sunroom.




The next two reflections are from the mirror on my screened porch.  The first shows my ceiling tile art and one of my santos.




The second shows my wire orb and some iron candlesticks on the porch.



This next mirror is between my bookcases.


My pier mirror leans in the corner behind my sofa and my sofa table in my living room.
My bookcase and chandelier reflect into it.



This mirror is also in my living room.  It was actually a picture frame and I added a mirror to it.  Reflected in this ornate gilt frame are my iron pedestal spheres ,which I use as bookends, and framed black and white architectural prints.





My orange chinoiserie chandelier and a sneak peek of my wine poster appear in this mirror.



My stack of suitcases on my luggage rack and my chandy reflect in my decadent mirror
 in my powder room.




My driftwood, coral, and clam shell appear in my mirrored-top table.



That was fun.  I did realize though that I'm a little obsessed with sunburst mirrors.

2012 in Review

As the new year begins I like to go back and take another look at my projects from the previous year.  If you missed the posts or would just like a second peek, you can click on the image or on the highlighted words and it will take you there. 

I purchased a new sofa for my family room and the x base coffee tables were perfect with the new sofa and flokati rug.

I loved how my plain pine dresser was updated with some stripes.

My mantel went coastal.

In that same room I filled a huge clam shell and placed it on my mirrored table.

I love anything chevron.  It was a no brainer to cover this chair with some chevron fabric.

I love Dorothy Draper and was so excited to find this draper-style dresser.

I painted my chinoiserie chandelier orange.

I love using spheres in my designs.  I did two posts about them.

My Christmas tree was inspired by some leopard ribbon.

I hope you had a super 2012.  I think I did.  It was hard to choose the posts.  Here's to a fabulous 2013.  I invite you to go back and see what else I came up with in 2012.
