Gold Fixtures in the Dining Room

The title of this post says it all.  I love look of gold and brass lighting fixtures in the dining room spaces below.  Even a simple gold candelabra takes the elegance factor up a a couple of notches.  I think my favorite is the marvelous curly-cue piece directly below hung above the side board.

Fresh Mix

This morning, I have a random selection of photos for you.  What ties them together?  The white walls, the soft palette, the natural elements and the fresh mix of objects.

Traditional Twist

After reading the premier issue of Trad Home last week, I started seeing tradition styles in a new light. I've got lots of traditional furniture speckled throughout my house.  Some of my pieces were hand-me-downs and some were picked up from Craig's List in a flurry to furnish our first apartment.  Even though they aren't my favorite pieces in my home, they serve as the base for all of my other decorating whims.  Here are some rooms with traditional foundations that update their look with modern art, accessories, textures and patterns.

Mirrors...

...are like jewelry for your home.  Position your mirror near a window or a lovely lighting fixture and double your impact.  The mirror will reflect not only the light, but also the image of the fixture or window.  This creates the illusion of two where there is only one.  I would like to have any of the mirrors below in my home.
