Tips on Hiring a Builder from an Architect’s perspective!

New mirrored pieces with a Vintage look!
January 15, 2007
Mirrored pieces are everywhere- they really can add glamour and style to a room. Some have that rich patina with gold lines fragmented through, while others are shiny and new. Perhaps they lack the history and fortitude of their vintage brothers but they can make up for it in price, especially when used as an accent piece. A reader pointed us to a British resource, Graham and Green, that offers stylish yet simple pieces with great prices. Check out the console at US$968 and Dorothy mirrored side table at US$419.
