mirror gallery

the style files

I love a good gallery wall.  Evenly sized or haphazard, color-coordinated or a mixed bag... and I like when the display isn't just picture frames. I especially like the idea of a little gallery of just mirrors.

Diane from In My Own Style had a great idea for an all-mirror gallery, and took it one step farther and added layers of mirrors.

 Isn't this genius? She used little blocks of wood to give her display added dimension.

I think this is a really cool departure from the usual large-mirror-over-dresser scenario.

house of spades

these pictures of andy and kate spade's new york home (from the december 2006 world of interiors) have been making the blog rounds lately, but they are so beautiful they deserve to be shown yet again!

 i love a style that is designed just enough, yet is eclectic and personal enough to almost look like a designer wasn't even involved. just homeowners with excellent taste. these particular homeowners had excellent personal taste and an excellent designer, steven sclaroff.

i love these images so much, i put some on the inspiration board i'm making for the rooms in our new apartment. so they may pop up again.
