An area rug for $5, then a gilt mirror picked up for $3.99 on the way home from work Friday - it was all just too much for the grunge queen.Yup, I had to do another makeover this weekend. The carpet and the mirror - they were just too special. I had to go for a glam-y Baroque-y look.
What do you think? Don't you just looove the mirror? $3.99!
It's super heavy. I think it merited being a focal point above my couch, so I pared down a lot of the art on my walls and ended up with this look.
Here's a wider shot.I thought the orange rug really needed the blue to balance it, and the lamps placed about the same height balanced the couch and the paintings on either side of it.
Here's a night shot - love the lighting.
I'm not normally this symmetrical, but I find the order and balance comforting.
I also never thought I'd end up accenting in orange, a colour I've never worn or decorated with. The pillows and rug just add that dash of brightness to the room. Even the new work or art that you see in the corner - which I will show you more of soon - has orange in it.
Guess it's never too late for a grungy decor gal to change her colours ....By the way don't you love the way mirrors reflect other parts of the room, like the black and white photos seen here?
They literally add new dimensions to rooms.
