Decorating With Mirrors

Adding a mirror to a room is one of my favorite decorating focal points.  A great mirror looks wonderful over a mantle, or, above a sofa.  A great mirror can also be the 'anchor' for a neat wall display.  For instance, hang the mirror and then a collection of plates on either side of it....an instant 'pop' and, a quick way to warm up your room.

Awesome look! From Ballard Designs. Notice the way the four mirrors are hung side-by-side...very CHIC!

*FLAIR TIP: A great looking mirror always adds a custom look to a bathroom.  Select a mirror with nice and clean lines to hang over a sink and vanity. The mirror will instantly update the room and add interest. Always avoid plain cut pieces of mirror in a bathroom.  A mirror that is hung over a bathroom sink looks MUCH more professional and adds character and flair to the space. 

AN AMAZING ARTIST AND A GREAT FRIEND

Erin and Brian Crenshaw are an AMAZING couple here in Memphis, TN.!  He is our YOUTH PASTOR at FELLOWSHIP MEMPHIS AND a very TALENTED artist.  He painted two FANTASTIC works for our son, Bo's, nursery two years ago. Today, I received these AWESOME pictures of some of his newest pieces.  

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing an AWESOME piece of art, by BRIAN CRENSHAW  Here is the BEST part:  The Crenshaws are currently on a waiting list for adopting a child from Ethiopia. With your purchase of one of these GORGEOUS paintings, your dollars are helping them finance their adoption.  How SPECIAL is that?  

One of these paintings would make an INCREDIBLE focal point over a fireplace or, over a sofa.  Brian's paintings have great texture and vibrant colors.  An original piece of art is always a great conversation starter as you entertain and, as you enjoy living in your space.
