Smoke & Mirrors

Mirrored furniture is just plain glamorous. Silvery and sultry, mirrored pieces add that touch of Old Hollywood sparkle to just about any space. We especially love using mirrored pieces in powder rooms, bedrooms, dressing rooms and even dining rooms. To keep mirrored pieces from feeling too feminine, pair them with more tailored accessories, furnishings, or lighting. A bit of mirrored furniture definitely goes a long way.

On Madison has put together some of our favorite mirrored pieces along with photos of a few pretty darn fabulous rooms in which mirrored pieces are definitely the “stars.”Mirrored Furniture1/ The London home of Caroline Sarkozy 2/ Jean de Merry “Diana at the Hunt3/ John Himmel mirrored console table 4/ Mirrored console entryway by Molly Luetkemeyer 5/ Vintage Deco style mirrored console 7/ On Madison Pasadena bathroom vanity 8/ Jean De Merry Capri dining table 9/ Herve Van der Straeten Console Cristalloide 10/ Paris apartment mirrored table 11/ Galerie Van der Straten console

 
 

Tea, anyone?

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about tea. Tea is a beverage, to be sure, but it’s so much more. Serving and drinking tea can be a lovely ritual, a celebration, therapeutic and just plain delicious. Elevating tea to its highest possibilities takes a little thought, however. There’s the tea, of course, which is a matter of personal preference, although some brands just stand above the rest. Then there is the brewing method – tea bag, loose tea, cup or teapot. Finally, there is what I call “the show.” I mean, it’s about the presentation and you can literally let your fancy run wild.

On Madison has put together a veritable teatime fantasy of teapots, trays, goodies, and of course, tea, to make your next teatime something special.

Bohemian Rhapsody

I simply adore design vibes that are a little of this and a little of that.  Maybe I just need a vacation, but I was completely smitten with the fusion of bohemian luxe mixed with a tropical beach vibe as seen in the fabulous Côte d’Azur home of Georgio Armani featured in this month’s issue of Architectural Digest. The tented cabana outfitted with glamorous chaises (reminiscent of Eileen Gray’s Bibendum chair) are the stuff of your beach chic dreams. Refined campaign style chairs paired with an architectural table in the limestone clad dining room conjure up a stylish luxury safari. Take a look at the home tour below:
