Mirrors with Rounded or Arched Tops
You have seen theses mirrors. Irresistable.
The mirror-as-headboard , below, is a gold arched-top antique.
It would look great in any room. But if you can't have that,
the rounded top gold mirrors are lovely:
same mirror as above,, different angle:
And the Lovely alternatives:
Call it French, Country, Traditional, European,
Rustic...the gold frame, the antiqued look, is a winner.
Have a great Day!

Bedrooms to Inspire!
This first one, with those amazing swing-arm lamps...
...w - o - w ...
The symmetry...
Maybe not exactly a low-key bedroom,
but it's Dolce & Gabana!
No words for Jeanne Lanvin's GORGEOUS blue bedroom:
The neutrals, the patterns, the deep ruffles...
Drama, beauty ( I object to real turtle/tortoise shells...)
Simplicity, divine beauty...
(from Phoebe Howard's latest book)
Storybook Perfection!
Dainty, elegant, needs a box of bonbons nearby...
I am eating my heart out, but also thinking up ways to adapt what I have....
Have an inspired day!

Solar Flare Flair -- DIY and More
A chunk of sun...Magnetic fields are disrupted.
Communications are disrupted. Electricity is disrupted. The sky is beautiful.
Nature's Design.
Which we love to copy.
Here is an image to keep, a Solar Flare Sunset:
Charged Particles are Gorgeous!
This shot of the solar flares, taken recently by NASA,
would also look great framed and up on a wall:
As would this sweet mirror:
Wow...
This certainly gives you a sense of being, um, overwhelmed, and may call for sunglasses...
This calls for applause: Solar-inspired D-I-Y
Unfathomable...
A tea ceremony room at a 2009 gold exhibition in Tokyo: golden tea set on display~
Sunburst Dahlias~the colors match so well! Lovely flowers....
Versailles Palace - Hall of Mirrors...
This solar flare was captured March 8, 2012 at about 11pm Eastern Standard Time:

Amazing...
Have a Beautiful Day!

P.S..........................
According to :
The coronal mass ejection (CME), reached Earth at around 5:45 am EST on Thursday (3-8-2012) according to officials at the Space Weather Prediction Center of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But it was more of a “glancing blow” than a full on collision, thankfully.
The impact will continue to affect Earth today according to Space.com, but the storm has now been classified as “moderate” as of midnight last night (EST). The effects have been the greatest over the polar caps.

Color Made This Room
We have all experienced The Transformative Power of Color in a room :
They should all be red...
Just kidding. The "shoulds" have no say in this.
Thinking outside of the box makes things more interesting.
Just take a look, and think about the colors,
from - and on - the ceiling to the floor.

The so-called “painted ladies” of San Francisco: Their colors say, "Look at Me!"
We all know that color can evoke warmth, security, freedom, purity, even humor.
But if that doesn't impress you, keep in mind that
color can also add $$$$ value to your property.
Chromium Yellow, the original color of
Thomas Jefferson's Monticello Dining Room:
Color (and the creative, knowledgeable designers who chose them) made these rooms.
Maybe they can nudge you to do something new with color.
Have a great day!
