How to turn up the glamour at home: add a mirror wall

I recently spent the afternoon at Restoration Hardware with a client looking for a few things and I was so incredibly inspired. I'm always inspired by their showrooms, they are just so relaxing and beautiful. I especially love the outdoor areas with water fountains and a sea of greenery. As I was walking up the staircase, I realized just how grand it felt with the beautiful natural light and walls of mirrors from floor to ceiling. It really got me thinking just how glamorous a wall of mirrors really is. 

Back when I was shopping the antique streets in Madrid, El Rastro, I fell in love with the sunburst mirrors everywhere. They totally have the most gorgeous gold round mirrors and every little shop had them hanging in groups on the wall. It's such a chic move. So, when I see it in any space, I naturally fall in love. 

Mirrors add light, reflections of beautiful things and just amp up the glam factor in your space. Especially the ones with antiqued mirror, something about them is just so naturally glam. 

To really take the glamour up even more, add a beautiful crystal chandelier. That is a sure way to dazzle your mirror wall. 

I've scoured the web and selected a few mirrors that would make an excellent option for a gold mirror wall.

Weekend decorating idea: add upholstery to your case goods, an IKEA hack

Yesterday I discussed some ideas for decorating your console table. See the post here. I've been thinking about how I wanted to decorate my entryway since even before I moved in. I knew I had this coffee table from my last apartment entryway and I absolutely loved it. I covered it with some sticky wallpaper but I wanted to give it a fresh makeover for Villa Noir. 

Ikea makes the best pieces to recover and makeover so naturally I was excited to think about what to do. This was how I had things up when I first moved in to my space. As a decorista, I will be redecorating, refinishing and moving things around weekly until its perfect. It's just how I live and breathe. I stumbled across this IKEA hack in white croc fabric and after debating over whether to go black or white, I went with black. It's hard to see the dimension in pictures but in person its so so luxe! 

At first I contemplated the idea of fabric versus paper. How durable would the fabric be and would it be loose or very tight and stuck to the piece?  I found this amazing black faux croc fabric for about 11$ a yard and ordered 2 yards to cover this table. If its awful, I didn't break the bank. I decided to go with  Adhesive spray to glue it to the table, it just makes for a smooth and tight finish. It probably took me about 25 minutes to get it done right. I just glued the fabric on and cut off the edges. It was pretty easy actually. 

. . .and it actually turned out pretty amazing. 

At first I had my Andy Warhol print but the color just wasn't working for me. I switched it out for my black and white with gold frame piece for now. It literally is the sexiest little entryway ever. I will be rearranging the tabletop this weekend and also will be hunting for a pair of fabulous little poufs that sit underneath. Or maybe even cool baskets for a bit of extra storage.
