Mirror, Mirror in My Mirror

Today's find is a lovely mirror by Kartell, an internationally renowned design firm that melds modern and functional aesthetics for the home, office, and laboratory!

Company bio http://www.lifestylebazaar.com/designers/kartel/

The mirror I speak of is below. It reminds me of a picture my friend Nina once took while we were visiting Bruges, Belgium. Years ago, I would never embrace such sterile pieces, whose palette consisted of white and other primary colors. Mondrian, whose work I respect, but never loved, always came to mind. Now that Saturn is returning in my life and my taste buds are maturing to the point of me enjoying dark chocolate over milk, I can embrace the Mondrian-esque qualities.

It retails for £308.00. http://www.lifestylebazaar.com/shop/home_accessories/mirrors/francois_ghost_large

Birthday present anyone?

Great Source for Light Fixtures

I've decided, my lovely blog followers, to share little personal morsels with you each week. Today's find revolves around light fixtures. My apt., unfortunately, showcases several ceiling fixtures that offer little to no character. My quest for affordable, modern, sleek lights is an on-going process for several reasons. Either they are bland or too expensive, go figure.



I came across this chandelier today. It retails for $1085.00



On the surface, it looks like a challenging, yet doable DIY project.

Here is the link to Y Lighting, a site that sells several designer fixtures. They will get your imagination going and your mouth watering.
