Reflections of Things I Love

Our bedroom is my favorite place to be in all of our house. It is full of things that I love & that have special meaning to me or that just make me smile. From the European floorlamp with barkcloth shade that DH surprised me with, to the tri-fold vanity mirror that I sweet-talked him into letting me keep (I sell antique mirrors on eBay here), to the long table that he & I fought about because he just couldn't see my vision while it was still black with years of grime & peeling veneer. I love the antique convex frame that my in-laws gifted me with that I added some of my favorite ROSES fabric behind, & my triple sewing machine drawers that hide all kinds of goodies that DH doesn't know about, like hankies, vintage postcards, & other stuff he would think is "silly". I especially love & smile at my sweet mannequin dressed in my now vintage wedding gown. And I can't forget my vintage 5 light tabletop chandelier that was one of my first purchases on eBay! And the glass globe that my sweet daughter made for me filled with wonderful potpourri & twinkle lights & topped with a vintage doilie made by my grandmother & tied with pink ribbon & a cherub paper-bag heart tag.
Another corner has the teensiest of demilune tables (I just love these small 1/2 tables because you can ALWAYS find a place for ONE MORE!) with a pink floral hurricane lamp, one of my favorite hand vases, & a Southern Belle plate by Garneau named "Scarlett" on a beautiful gold easel that my mother gave me. Funny but I can't remember where the little lace hanky came from.
Love this Art Deco mirror, too. It just screams "Hollywood Glam" to me. I pictured it with some of my pink roses.
I have a few vegetable casseroles that I like to decorate with. They are all vintage, many with small chips or crazing, so I don't serve food in them, but they make great display pieces & are wonderful for storage, too. This one is full of extra prisms that I use when making lighting. I love using mirrors as plateaus for tablescape scenes. Candles & cut glass really gleam when placed on top of them. This one is an oval diamond beveled antique mirror from England.
This mirror is one my granddaughter calls the Snow White Mirror. You know, "Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who's the Fairest of them All?" I love tri-fold vanity mirrors & this one has ROSES on it, but luckily I already have one in my bedroom, so DH is sooo very glad I'm actually selling this one. It is listed here on eBay this week!

I've not posted very many pictures lately, & pictures are to me what make a blog ~ I just love eye candy, don't you? So I tried to post some of what I love the most.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their week!
Hugs,

Stephanie
