Mirrors aren't just for your walls!
A simple, clean lined desk from Mecox Gardens gives off a modern mirrored feel.
This contemporary chest from Century Furniture is a bold addition to any room and has a great diamond pattern on its drawers. The next three images are of fantastic pieces from Horchow, which are great, cost effective options to be able to achieve the mirrored look without blowing the budget!
Mirrored furniture pieces are a great idea to add to your room to bring in a new level of sophistication. Mirrors can reflect other textures and colors in a room and create a new layer to your design.

EASY ART
The painted canvas in this image was done by Nathan Thomas, last season’s winner on Bravo’s TV show ‘Top Design’. All it took was dripping/pouring paint colors down an upright canvas. How simple and chic is that!
Instead of a single piece, why not create a collage of images. Here simple black frames with white mattes are a fantastic way to display your favorite photographs. Printing the images in black and white creates a cohesive feeling among the various images. Try varying the frame sizes for an eclectic look.
Did you know you may have your own personal artist among your family? Take your child’s most recent artwork from school and forget about putting it on the refrigerator…put it up on your wall! It instantly becomes the most personal and sentimental piece of art in your home. You can even frame their art and easily change it out when a new drawing or painting comes home from school.
Now go do something fabulous with your empty walls!
