Sitting room of.... Dabido








Small but perfectly formed, and so well laid out!!!

I have a tiny house and I am always looking for ways to 'utilise my space' more effectivly. As I have decided to buy most of my furniture second hand does mean that I have to wait to find the perfect piece, which is wonderful when it presents itself, but a pain waiting.....

This small sitting room is owned by blogger and photographer Dabido of Old Brand New and was a makeover in collaboration with West Elm USA.

I really love what he has done with the room. Loads of huge house plants, bright colours and interesting shapes. There is a nice mixture of brand new items like the table and lamp (both from West Elm) and vintage/ handmade crafted items like the little yellow Indian Bajot table and the African figures on the bookshelves.

My favorite item however is that fabulous hand carved Indian Satara mirror from World Market..... too bad they don't ship to the UK, I would actually buy that for my hallway!!

To see more of his home and his work visit Dabido at Old Brand New

Mirror Magic..... Ways to incorprate mirrors into your home

Painted Mirror
Those old fashioned dark wood Victorian mirrors that always look so gloomy and austere look great painted modern colours and create an eye catching center piece in the dining room


Large teak Mirro

If like mine, your inner walls are not all solid brick then rather than risk an accident why not lean large heavy full length mirrors against the wall. This beautiful heavy teak mirror looks great rested on the pink rattan table... A perfect look for a bedroom

Vintage Mirrors: I would love to do this in my bathroom

Although gaining popularity and therefore price, these beautiful vintage mirrors are still relatively cheap and look great as a collection. This look is perfect for a bathroom or hallway.

Large Antique Convex Mirrors

Antique beauty
I love round mirrors anyway, but the fact hat these mirrors are slightly deteriorating just adds to the beauty for me.

Current Obsession: Marvin Frietas Triangle Mirrors

Marvin Freitas' Triangle Mirrors


I have seen these beautiful triangle mirrors doing the rounds on Pinterest and tumblr and wondered where they came from. I would love one of these at the top of my stairs!!!

...... They are the work of Carpenter Marvin Frietas....

Marvin has been a carpenter for almost 20 years and his inspiration began as a young boy watching his grandfather make things in his small garage shop in Galicia, Spain.

Marvin told Moon to Moon that he "always felt that my hands had something and I could translate me vision into reality in terms of furniture" and the "Triangle mirror is a reflection on my child hood growing up in Galicia"

Now based in Minneapolis MN his custom work sells in select boutiques in the US, choosing to work alone as he doesn't want to get to big.

Current Obsession: Abate Mirror from Anthropologie

Elsie Joseph of Pennyweight in front of the Abate Mirror from Anthopologie
As soon as I saw this picture of Elsie Joseph in front of that mirror pop up on pinterest I knew 3 things:
1) I had to share it with you guys...
2) I had to find the mirrors origins and
2) I had to have this mirror!!

Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad.... Sadly for me the Abate mirror is only available through Anthropologie.com and for some annoying reason I cant even look at the USA site here in the UK (so I am not sure if the above link works as i cant test it).

Fingers crossed this beauty will be available over here soon

Large Round Mirrors...

Round Mirror
Rounded Mirror in dressing room
Round office mirror
Large round mirror: Eclectic, vintage interior
Large round mirror: Sera of London
I am on the hunt for a big, beautiful, round vintage mirror for the top of my stairs. I found a beautiful one in a local charity shop but by the time I had returned to collect it, it had been snapped up by someone else.

My house is pretty light anyway but there is a darker area at the top of my stairs and I am hoping a mirror on the opposite wall may reflect enough light over for a house plant to live there happily.

The Great lakes Prism from the Wild Unknown

The Wild Unknown hanging Prism
Great lakes Prism from the Wild unknown
Wild Unknown Mirror Prism


I blogged about these Hand made Prisms from the Wild Unknown in Februaury (here) and have been dreaming about owning one ever since, It was a tough decision, because they are all stunning, but I finally invested in the Mirror Prism, and it was well worth it. It reflects everything around it and it even has a jingly bell inside it :)

I really want the hanging one now....

I'll be your mirror...

Bijou and Boheme
Unknown sorry!
Absolutely beautiful things


Okay, so some of the rooms are a little tidier and smarter than what I would usually go for, but I am ignoring that and looking at those beautiful large mirrors! They look so good leaning on the floor like that, and they create so much more beautiful natural light.

Ikea, hell or heaven?






I know, Ikea is like being stuck in hell, everyone is stressed, no natural light etc... but i do love it. I have wanted this mirror and bed combo for a while now, and at only 369 for the pair you can't really go wrong. They look so much more expensive. Has to be done.
