fabulous mirrors!

mirrors can go just about anywhere, and they can so easily add so much glamor!!!! the reflective surfaces really add dimension and interest to even the most simple of spaces.

 gold mirrors down a dusty pink hall... love it

 and i love this unexpected use of mirrors all the way up the wall as part of the architecture. 

and here beveled mirrors are used as a backsplash in this bar area! so chic!

soft greys!

 when i first saw this outfit i immediately fell in love with the colors and textures! 

 i just love the soft grays all layered together. with black and white it looks so chic and yet 

still remains very soft looking.

i love the way all these finishes compliment each other and create so much depth! im a firm believer in mixing gold and silver, and to all the nay sayers, just look and how amazing this room looks!

than you all for reading!!!!

color code: decorating with kelly green

i am so loving kelly green right now! it was hot this summer in fashion and now, 

its making its way into our homes!

 look at this fantastic side board! the gold accents are the perfect compliment the green.  

painted furniture is a wonderful way to incorporate the color

 if you are really brave, go ahead and put in on the walls!

 great green laqured desk!

 whites and black are the perfect paring to this amazing color. it just sets a chic background for the green to stand out!

thank you all for reading!!!
