Massucco Warner Miller Powder Room Featured On The Enchanted Home

Layering a gilt wall mirror with an outrageous wallpaper can really make a fabulous mirror stand out as a feature in your home. This Hollywood Regency frame looks terrific on this really dark wallpaper. A bathroom is one of the best places to use bright or dark wall colors. The room is often very small, and an over sized wall mirror can make a room appear so much larger even while using dark wall colors. Consider a bold pattern such as the picture above and layer in the brass details.

Sunburst Mirrors

The sunburst mirror is a great contemporary piece that commands attention in any room. Sunburst mirrors are making a comeback, as these vintage sunburst mirrors struck popularity in the 60's and 70's. The ornate details combined with the circular shape make it particularly eye catching and glamorous. There are many price points and variations of these mirrors depending on the quality, age, and materials of the mirror. Pristine antiques fetch several thousand dollars, but many reproductions that were made in the 60's are quite inexpensive. If you do happen to pick up a mass produced reproduction mirror, give it a good make over with gold leaf which will give you the look of quality. Make a striking statement in your entryway, hallway, or above the mantle with this mirror, and I guarantee it will be noticed by company!

Federal and Empire Style came about in America in between 1780-1850 which was heavily influenced by England's regency styles and Frances empire styles. Both the Regency and Empire Style is focused on Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian tones which are incorporated for a government empire influence. In America the eagle symbol of the new federal government became a popular motif. Federal style incorporates the neoclassical influences of Hepplewhite and Sheraton including straight and delicate lines, inlay and contrasting wood veneers. Characteristics include slender legs, very delicate decoration, and symmetry. Many doors and entrances are often framed by columns and framing over the door. Ancient Greek influence became apparent in all design from architecture to furniture styles and interior design.

Genuine Eagle Convex Mirrors from late 18th century period are higher quality and can be quite costly. Many are priced in the thousands. If you are wanting this look, but not wanting to pray the hefty price tag for an antique, you can find these mirrors on ebay for as little as 5 dollars. In 1950, many inexpensive plastic and styro mirrors were produced, but they are not made from carved wood. If you get a plastic mirror, one easy way of improving it, is to gold leaf the mirror to give the luxurious look of a genuine antique. (Picture Marina Rust)
