Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall: Decorating With Mirrors

Using mirrors can be one of the most fun ways to decorate your home. Mirrors add
depth, dimension, and brightness to a room, and can even help a room look larger if
they're strategically placed. A large statement mirror can be used as a focal point of a
room, but a grouping of a collection of interesting small mirrors can have the same effect. 

 What should you consider when adding a mirror to your decor? Size and style of frame.
The size of the mirror will determine where you hang it, and the shape and style of the
frame should accent, or compliment, the decor of your room. Check out this collection of 
unique and beautiful mirrors and hopefully you'll be inspired to look at mirrors in a new way!

Fresh Ideas For Repurposing Dressers

Don't you just love it when you see a clever new use for an ordinary object?
I do! 

I especially like dressers. This is probably because I have a lot of stuff. 
When you have a lot of stuff, those extra dressers come in handy! 
As a matter of fact, I have three extra old dressers in my home.

One is in the foyer and holds seasonal  things such as winter gloves and hats.
 Another dresser in my living room keeps all of my daughters' art and craft supplies 
close at hand and organized.  A third extra dresser in my home is in my youngest
 daughter's room and is the perfect place for controlling stuffed animal overflow 
an as storage for clothes she is growing into.

Take a look at what some creative folks did with these old dressers, dresser drawers, 
and mirrors,  and maybe you will be inspired to think of how you could repurpose 
a dresser in your own home!
