Mirror Image

For years, designers have been using mirrors to make small rooms look larger. Occasionally, I like to use mirrors to make a dull room more interesting.

I love the look of antique quilts hung on the wall as art. This mustard and cream quilt is a beautiful example of the pattern called "Drunkard's Path" (hence the wobbling). One day I realized how neat it would look to have the quilt pattern reflected on the table. Enter a simple square mirror and a sushi bowl full of dahlias. The effect was stunning.

Very creative - I love it and now have an idea for the rice bowls that my mother gave us for a wedding present!

Thank you! Don't forget to slide chopsticks into the bouquet and let them rest in the hole as intended. It looks really pretty.

Wonderful idea... and I love the "drunken" pattern :)
