Sunburst Mirrors

Sunburst mirrors can be dated back to France in the late 1600's.   They were widely popular in the US in the mid-20th century, and now they've become increasingly popular again over the last few years.

Who can blame anyone?  There are so many styles and sizes, not to mention the rich textures and variety of materials used to make the "rays" radiating off each mirror - there has to be a little something for everyone!

{source}

These mirrors make a beautiful statement by themselves, or can be grouped together nicely to fill up a larger space.

{source}

Now we see a lot of sunburst mirrors in our travels....just check out this grouping Lisa snapped with her phone last year on one of our buying trips.

{source}

With so many to choose from, we feel a little like Goldilocks; this one is too ornate, this one is too plain, this one is way too expensive, this one is way to heavy to hang, the color on this one doesn't go with everything...


We'll we've done the dirty work for you, and posted two new sunburst mirrors on Shop Lucketts, our online store.  They're Design House favorites, stand the test of time {and the seasons}, and as a bonus are made of eco-friendly & sustainable materials - can't get any better than that!

Here's our smaller version followed by a picture of our larger version {with the smaller ones as a size comparison in the background}.

You can find the smaller version {here} on Shop Lucketts.  And {here} is a link to our favorite larger version.

Finally, if you want some decorating inspiration, here's a link to a good post on Shelterness with lots of ideas for decorating with sunburst mirrors.

Shine on!

A White Home and some really cool modern contemporary items... 

Today I am sharing with all of you a really cool modern home down under that was decorated all in white and when I say all in white I mean all in whiter and of course some really cool items I found that will make you want to go shopping...

Enjoy the pics and post..

Residence in Australia Completely Designed in White 

I saw this on another blog and am definitely interested in getting any and all opinions on this house.. Curious how many of you like this..  Send comments regarding the design of this white home located in Queensland, Australia. Built on an impressive lot of 824 square meters, the residence features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, an outdoor entertainment area, a swimming pool, and a three-car garage.Here are further details from the official project description: “Sparkling white interiors and high ceilings are a breath of fresh air while abundant use of glass creates a light and airy floor plan that moves from room to room with ease. An open plan living room on the upper level effortlessly blends with the dining area for a sweeping space that flows to the gourmet kitchen which features quality appliances, lots of cabinetry, bench space and a butler’s pantry.” How would you comment on the overall appearance of this residence? Can you think of any drawbacks to the design?

A Cool Suspended Cabinet for those unreachable corners...

Look at this cabinet. I  found this inspiring idea that could solve some of your storage problems. This suspended corner cabinet could easily fit in any apartment, has a really interesting shape and a lot of available space. Some of the items can be hidden behind the doors and others could be placed on top of it. Something like this could also be used in the entrance hall for clothing and footwear. When placed in the living-room or bedroom, the shelving system can be customized in order to best fit the storage needs. The possibilities are endless: you could use it as a bookcase, a normal cabinet or a locker. What we like most about it is the fact that it is suspended, which brings a plus of originality to the room.

Another cool cabinet 

Philipp Mainzer designed this interesting suspended cabinets for e15. The suspended cabinets are another great example of floating furniture. – Via – Trendir

These suspended cabinets are made from richly detailed wood planks, the fabulous grains add contrasting shades and tones to the smooth simple surfaces. Available in two styles, the Shahnaz Cabinet features two square doors, while the Mahnaz offers two wide drawers. Perfect for hiding away magazines and clutter, while displaying your favourite photos or decorations on its table like surface. Both Shahnaz and the Mahnaz cabinets share the same dimensions making them easy to arrange into the ideal unit for your space.

There you have it..
