Mirror Mirror… For a Headboard?

3099208570_91185db00b

This gorgeous bedroom featured on {this is glamorous} last week caught my eye with its stunningly huge mirror headboard… I’ll admit – I’ve always wanted an oversized antique mirror to lean against a wall in my living room or entry someday, but the bedroom? I’m not sure… Then I remembered this room from Paul Costello. [...]

    I love this look. When I first moved out on my own, I only had a bedframe and would change the headboard all the time. Once I used a big vintage mirror. Thanks for sharing!

    I adore old vintage mirrors, and the bigger the better!! But I’m not sure about using one as a headboard though! Although it looks pretty – the bottom one is my fav!
    And I’ll second that fear of it breaking!!
    Isn’t it some feng shui no-no to have a mirror reflecting your bed?!

    Hi Cassandra! I just wanted to say thanks. I just went to Paul’s web site and it made me smile :) I have been feeling a little down lately and questioning whether I really knew what I was doing. Sometimes following ones heart doesn’t always mean you made the right decision. Paul’s images made me realize that this is what it’s all about. And yes, I love the idea of the mirrored headboard!

    *L, i would have to agree that my fear of the mirror falling on me is greater than the fear of bad feng shui… maybe that comes from growing up in earthquakes in LA?!

    carol, i’m glad you found some needed inspiration in paul’s site. i just adore everything he does :)

    I love both of those for different reasons. I love the dramatic style of the top picture, but I also love the sheer drapes over the bed in the second. However I’m not so sure I would want a mirror for a headboard! Great pics though. =)

    Love them both, and have had a mirror as a head board, and also leaning on a wall right next to the bed, and ahem in the 1970′s on the ceiling.
    Mirrors and beds are sexy and glam, even if one is not ha ha.
    Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Thank goodness for holidays. It means I actually have the time to spend a few hours going through the Pre Fall 09 collections to prepare myself for the year ahead!

    I love your little roundup! I almost forgot about the Pre-Fall 09 collections. I share your love with the new Zac Posen line. Wow! It’s like that great 30′s era. I especially love the collar on the middle outfit… And I’ve always been a fan of Rachel Roy and Doo.Ri as they have great ready to wear pieces… But don’t get be started on that Burberry purple coat. OH MAN! it kills me, it’s so cute…

For breakfast in this cozy room?

Fresh flowers and fruits make it feel like spring, even in the coldest months, and the high [...]

Sunshine…

cartersmithsunshine31

I realized today that I sufficiently depressed everyone with my last wintery post… so why don’t we all just pretend we’re on a tropical island instead…? The type of place where packing involves a bikini, a dress and some sunscreen… Where skin gets perfectly bronzed… And the term ‘bundling up’ means throwing on a light [...]

    Oh yes please! Can I hide in your suitcase and come along? Of course in this magical tropical land, I would be the sort of girl who could get away with wearing vibrant yellow…and naturally I would tan instead of sunburn like I normally do. Just as long as we’re dreaming, after all!

My days have begun to feel a bit like this… The snow here is still piled high, and I’ve felt quite stuck for the last few days… I’ve enjoyed the magic of white Christmas and now… I’m losing my mind. Tears! We’re still very buried in on my street, but fingers crossed that tomorrow I [...]

    Thanks for entertaining me this year, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

    My family also owns a restaurant so I can sympathize, we also had to ban smoking indoors in our restaurant this year. We’re still trying to recover a bit from that blow (its got a large bar scene at night)

    Anyway – Merry Christmas
