Wall Decor Design Notebook
Lindsey Strader -- Home Accents Today, 2/1/2009
Mirrors line the wall of fame reflecting styles ranging from classic to ultra-hip. No two are quite alike with numerous shapes and materials to choose from. Some are coated in flashy gold, while others venture on the wild side decked in animal print. References to nature also abound in the form of botanicals and shell. A little competition of who's the fairest never hurt, right?
