Family Room

This weekend we finally had some time to finish up our family room. In addition to adding crown moulding and re-painting the room, we added an sunburst mirror over mantle, roll down area rug, mirror and floor lamps to pull the room together. Black mirror with gold-leaf trim: add some weight to the left-side of the room to balance off the black couch on the opposite side. I made all the cushions myself! The whole room has a fresh but muted gold tone.

It took me a long time to find this faux bamboo tripod lamp, which looks much like a chrome floor lamp from Meurice Collection by Robert Abbey - Jonathan Adler. The Meurice easily costs $500, and how much did I pay? A mere $115!
