Mirrors serve the obvious purpose in our homes ~ various times throughout the day, we need them to check out our reflection. But an over-sized framed mirror is also quite a magical design feature & makes a statement in any room. A large mirror is an excellent focal point, visually expands the space & makes it brighter as it bounces the light around. It can also add depth to a space.

Mercury glass actually has no mercury in it ~ but is rather a solution of silver nitrate sealed between sheets of glass ~ a process that creates a unique mirrored surface with a sleek silvery shine. First produced in the 19th century, mercury glass created a instant sensation & has stood the test of time. Mercury glass works in both traditional & modern rooms & adds a sophisticated bit of sparkle to any space. I’ve pulled together some pieces that may work in your home, porch or patio.

Last Friday, I wrote about how much you can refresh the look of a room by just changing your throw pillows. Designers & stylists are creating very unique spaces by mixing color, pattern & texture in their pillow selections.
This daybed is dressed with solids & one pattern & mixes square, rectangular & round shapes ~ the solid white pillow balances out the pattern while the rest of the colors are similar in tone.
