THIS OR THAT: GOLD OCTAGONAL MIRRORS!

Gilded Octagon Mirror by Wisteria
Wisteria - Gilded Octagon Mirror - $229 (30"diameter.  Wood frame) (above)

Nothing like a wonderfully shaped mirror to finish off the decor in a room.  I like the idea or a gold finish eight sided mirror for over a fireplace mantel or in an entry hall or foyer.

Two mirrors...geometric in form...gilt in finish.  Which one is best?

Dwell Studio - Octagonal Mirror - on sale $337.50; original $675 (24.5"wx36.5"h)(above)

I can't pick! Maybe the the 2nd with the aged silver leaf mirror. Hmmm...

Which one do you prefer?

Happy Thursday!

INDOOR DINING ROOM WITH AN OUTDOOR FEEL!

indoor dining room outdoor feel thanks to vaulted ceilings, visible beams, large metal plant pots holding small trees, octagon wood table, white wood chairs

I love this dining room. I do. An indoor room with an outdoor feel. I think it's the architecture that makes this room feel like it is out in the open - the cobblestone like paver tiles covering the floor and the high ceilings make it seem like this dining area is set on a sidewalk on an old east coast town. The tall manicured ficus trees added on either side of the room make this space feel like it is set outside. I like.

There is also something very classic but simple about the decor...the octagon shaped wood table, the antique looking white chairs with carved bird wings and the large metal planters. No frills. Not fancy. Very elegant and understated I think.

I do wonder though...where the light comes from at night...no chandelier or lighting fixtures in view from these angles...hmmm...I wonder...

What do you think of this dining room? Like...dislike? Do tell. Do you like the cobblestone like flooring? Please weigh in below in the comments section.

Happy Wednesday!
