Design Indulgence

My trip to Boulder was short and sweet!  I really love that little city and would move there but dang housing is so expensive!    This little number was a million dollars and trust me...... it needs at lot of work.  I have lot's of ideas for this small bi-level or as I like to call them.... the dreaded split foyer .   This house style was very popular in the early 70's with a small entrance where you go up to the kitchen, living room and bedrooms and down to laundry room and family room.   In this house the master bath and bedroom is tiny....tiny....tiny!  Short of lining the bathroom with diamonds....I am scratching my head to figure out what to do!

Crikey . Talking about mirrors today and how they can brighten up a space.  I think it's safe to say that when decorating a room we have choices of hanging art.....a mirror or something architectural on walls. I've put together a few of my favorites from vendors starting with Bungalow 5 Cassia , Leger , Lane , Chloe  ,   Gabriella Next up is Worlds Away Bella   Daisy G   Rosemary Waverly , Marian , Paul G I love a pretty   gold mirror shown here in my house  [from a flea market] and below [Bernhardt Interiors] when I helped with the House Beautiful Kitchen of the Year.
