Mirror Round Up

So I went around my house and I counted 5 mirrors, this is probably a pretty low number compared to the average household. Mirrors are often used as focal points so it's important to carefully select that perfect "art piece". I went through a few sites and found a few beautiful pieces, enjoy!

Baroque Inspiration

I am a huge fan of baroque style mirrors so naturally I have one in my house. If you are money conscience chances are you can go to a flea market, find a style like this in gold, and spray paint it, if not check these out!

Unique Arrangements

These are a few one off pieces I found. I especially love the gold and black knot,the Collection of Memories from Potterybarn and the handheld mirror collection from Pier 1. The Collection of Memories could be turned into a fun DIY project. Find some simple or old mirrors, get some looking glass spray paint and acrylic paint to age the frames and there you have your copy cat look!

Black + Brown = Perfect


Whoever said brown and black shouldn't go together was way wrong! This look couldn't be more perfect. It encompasses a perfect balance of casual and dress.


Get the Look

You could probably find a cute blazer just about anywhere. Here is a basic black 3/4 length one from Forever 21 and a basic tan sweater from Target. I'm showing some skinny jeans from Urban Outfitters, but for the riskier individuals you may check out some pleather or coated skinnies also available at Urban Outfitters.

Loafers anyone? I know these can be a little scary and they personally remind me of grade school, but they look really cute in our inspiration picture. Here are three styles and perhaps one will ease your mind.

Hello Yellow!

Today is dedicated to yellow! We are here to show you yellow is not scary, its perfect. We've found some yellow accessories and inspired rooms to show how great this color can be.

We love these yellow chairs! Pottery Barn had some similar in various colors a while back, you could probably find some around town and spray paint them.


This bedding looks so sharp! It looks great with the white they have pictured, but it would also look great with a very light shade of blue, gray or green.


Love these lamps! Black and yellow are perfect together, just ask the bees! The color combination makes a classic look.
 Very cute patterned yellow side chair from Target! Adding one accent of a random color can complete a room.

Like I've said before, I love wallpaper on an accent wall. It draws so much attention and everyone who doesn't have it wishes they did!


 Great stool turned accent table!


Look at these great bar stools! I think you should always introduce a fun bold bar stool!

 Now this was a gutsy move! Yellow cabinets are very daring, but this space looks great! they have combined a pop of bold color and a patterned accent wall. I especially love that black bench!


 Perfect powder bath! I'm a big fan of pedestal sinks and stripes. The window provides enough light to keep this small space fresh.

 Very cute accent rugs!


 Bamboo chandelier with little black shades. This is definitely a statement piece!


Zebra still seems to be a popular print and it's even better in color. This yellow is more mustard so it's a little more suttle than our other options.


If you thought yellow was scary before I hope you think differently now and if you loved it before I hope you enjoyed this options! Be inspired and create!
