Mirror Mirror Not On The Wall

Time to break out the Windex, today is all about mirrored furniture. This trend has been around for a while, and some may argue has been overplayed, but I think done in moderation the right amount of reflection is perfect in every room. If you can tolerate the constant cleaning of fingerprints then consider one of these great pieces.

I recently purchased this chest for my nursery - we're converting it into a changing table. Practical? Perhaps not. Chic? For sure.

Loving the gold and black combination of this entertainment cabinet.

I wish I knew where this table was from, if you do, let me know!!

These mirrored tables add just the right amount of glamor and are SO inexpensive it's a no-brainer.

You have to be really comfortable with how you look in the morning to have a mirrored bed.

The delicate lines of this vanity are so sweet and I am also loving the black feather curtain tie-backs!

Barcelona Mirrored Dressing Table

Since you can see a reflection in Aerin Lauder's gold desk I'll classify it as mirrored. It's so stunning I had to include it!

Reflect on that for a while!

Birds of a Feather

As birds go, the peacock is one sexy beast, and they know it... why else would they strut around all fanned out like that. We certainly agree and that's why it's not surprising that they constantly inspire designers and artists. Here are a few examples of works inspired by, or created with, the oh-so-lovely peacock and their feathers...
