What do you see in a mirror?

I spotted this mirror when I was browsing the West Elm store earlier this week.  It's completely striking in person.  I absolutely love it!  Now I just have to think of a place to put it (not to mention the money to buy it...).  One step at a time.  :)

A little shopping trip...

I took my lunch hour to shop for clients.  It was a great day to be out on Queen Street walking around and looking for just the right pieces.  Right now we are concentrating on the master bedroom and living room.  I thought I would share with you the gorgeous pieces from West Elm in Liberty Village & Pavilion on Queen Street.

I don't think these pillows are right for their place but I liked the medium sized white, brown and pink pillow for mine.  Unfortunately, we are in save mode so they will stay at the store.  It's always nice to browse.


Ah, a shelf full of hammered metal.  :)


I loved this rug.  It would be great if it came in other colours.  West Elm buyers, think about it.



This was a very cool candelabra in the form of a silver tree branch.  Again, unfortunately there are no more candles to go with it.  It requires the pencil thin candles.  Let me know if anyone finds them anywhere else.  I think it would look amazing on a Christmas table with berries around it. 
I really liked these storage containers.  They are a very stylish way to organize the office.  How great would they look in a white office with orange accents?  Orange isn't one of my favourite colours but I was really drawn to them.

All items above from West Elm.


I haven't been to Pavilion in a long time.  I use to shop there on a weekly basis when I lived around the corner.  It still has some fabulous pieces.  This is the first item I saw when I walked in.  Check out the very cool table lamps.



This is a chandelier I want to show my clients for their bedroom.  I love the glass mixed with dark metal. It has an industrial feel to it.



LOVE the colour of this pillow.  I think this might be a great colour for their living room.  We'll see what they think.



Check out the stunning table lamp.  I gasped when I saw it.  How cool would this look in any room.  It's a conversation starter.


I love the three of these vases.  I think they will look great in their bedroom.


We are thinking of doing a mirror leaning against one of their bedroom walls.  This one would look fantastic!  I love the nail head type look of it.  See the picture below this one for the close up.




This one was also fantastic and very tall which is a good think because I think Jory is at least 6 feet tall.


This is my absolute favourite!!!


I saw this painting and fell for it.  I think the colours are phenomenal.



Paula, I thought you might like this one.  Art is very personal.  I don't believe it's something a stylist can pick out without the client.  We can only guide our clients to galleries where they find the right piece.



I like this headboard as a starting point.  I love the nail head detail down the side and top of the headboard.  I would add a bit more tufting.  You can barely see the five buttons on it as is.  I also wouldn't go as high on the back.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Mirrors are a great way to add dimension, more light and are a fantastic way to make a room appear larger.  Here are a few of my favourites collected over the last few weeks.  


I love this mirror because its a dose of natural wood in a very black scheme.  It warms up the space.

I love the floor to ceiling mirrors in this room.  They look like beautiful lead windows that we all love but can't afford to have in our own homes.  This is also a great way to open up the space of the room.  Symmetry is also very important!!

Loving the rustic look of this mirror.  It's a classic round shape with an unusual twist that makes it unique! It's perfect for the space.  I can't image any other mirror here.

I need to point out the black trellis wallpaper.  It's gorgeous!!!  I wonder if I can convince one of my friends to use it in their powder room... Paula, what do you think?

This room is very familiar to me but I can't remember who designed it. It is definitely one of those rooms that I go to a lot for inspiration!  It's fresh and fun.  Not to mention it has a beautiful unique mirror.  I love leaning a mirror against a wall.  It looks so cool on the bedside table.

I think this is 'the mirror' of 209!  I have seen it in so many rooms and in countless shops.  I've seen it done in this antiqued grey look, black, gold... any way it looks amazing!  I want this mirror so bad but haven't seen anything like it at HomeSense (my new home away from home).  Thanks Mom and Dad for the gift card!!! :)




Using mirrors is a great way to decorate a large wall.  How stunning is this pink bedroom?!

White bathrooms are the bee's knees!!  This might be one of my favourites and unfortunately I don't know who the designer is.  Check out the glamorous mirrors!!  Oh gosh, I have a problem.  I love too many types of design and mirrors.  I wish I had more money to change up my home every few months.  Wouldn't it be cool to live in a new style every year?

I LOVE this antique mirrored armoire.  It's GORGEOUS!!!!  I also love the tufted chair.  How can I get both?

I would like to be sitting in this living room right now.  Check out the round convex gold mirror.  This is a classic shape being used by all designers right now.  

That's all for now folks.  xo
