Unique Mirrors

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Looking for something different in a mirror?  Well I found a couple that might suit your space!

The Golden Lilypad Mirror from Tonic Home is the most interesting feminine and chic design out there.  The golden frame outlines a floral shape making each mirror of the Lilypad stand out and reflect something different.

The Antler Wooden Mirror is also from Tonic Home.  An octagonal bleached wood frame is accented by antlers around this hunt-inspired mirror.  Lodge decor turns luxe with this piece of wall decor!

Reflect!

Super Cool Light Fixtures!

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I found some super cool light fixtures…. I just had to share.  I’m loving them so much I’m going to find a spot in my home for at least one of these!!

This Garland Light is available at Generate.  This awesome fixture is available in brass, silver, black chrome or white.  The cascading floral patterns allow you to bring nature into your home.  The designer is Tord Boontje who was recently named designer of the year by the Design Museum and Elle Decoration UK.

The Shadow Light, also available at Generate, is another Tord Boontje creation.  It’s a pendant halogen fixture that projects beautiful multi-colored images on surrounding walls.  I could see it being a perfect finishing touch on a nursery!

So go ahead and light up your world!

The Walldots Wallpaper is from ferm LIVING for Hygge & West.  Ferm LIVING’s founder Trine Anderson has an eye for taking things such as retro designs and elements from nature and reinterpreting them in a way that is clean and modern.

Soothing Stripes

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Simple stripes….who would have thought such a simple concept could create a whimsy touch.  I needed something clean and timeless for my seven year old’s bedroom.  I did not want to argue bikes, superman, or monster trucks anymore!  I needed a clean background that I could change out his latest “can I please have….in my room”.

I selected large horizontal stripes using Benjamin Moore Powell Buff HC-35 and Lancaster White paint colors.  I also wanted a neutral background for a little peace and quiet to the eye for the loud seven year old artifacts.  I think I was successful!
