Be Inspired No. 79 - Standing Room Only



 "An event is described as standing room only when it is so well-attended that all of the chairs in the venue are occupied, leaving only flat spaces of pavement or flooring for other attendees to stand." 

Standing room only is a strong indication that the event was fabulous, even for those occupying those flat spaces of pavement or flooring. Let's apply this indication to a fabulous room design, where every part of the floor plan is "occupied" with care, whose ticket stubs have been validated. I am inspired with every detail of a great design. And my eyes always fall to the clever applications of a well-edited space.



Tucking a beautiful floor mirror behind a console gives depth and reflection in a standing room only feel, an enhancement to the other attendees in the space.






What's occupying your standing room only space? Every room has it, is it occupied or is the event in need of improvement? The standing room only spaces of our home present an enhancement opportunity. A well-designed space is one song, where there is harmony.






Keep simplicity and beauty in the forefront of your design. But most importantly maintain your story and style. 





Standing room only isn't a bad place to be. Be inspired!

Well Dressed Home No. 33 - The Floor Mirror

This floor mirror is a mood changer with its antiqued effect.

In the context of a mirror, to reflect is to show an image of.  Simplistic enough.  The word reflect has great synonyms: think, meditate, ponder, mirror, consider.  Not so simplistic.  I love how both the definition and synonyms describe what a floor mirror can create for a room and its' dwellers.


Reflection, perfected!

The placement of a floor mirror is complex and strategic.  After all, it is not the mirror alone, but the reflection created in it that defines the placement.


Great placement for the utility of a mirror, but the door, chair, horns, and fireplace are
a great reflection too!


Loving the reflection?  Not so much.  But that is an easy fix!  Loving the pairing
of the series of prints though.


Loving how the acrylic chairs are almost an illusion of surprise.


Superb!  What a backdrop!

I heart it, times two!


The floor mirror plays so well with the mouldings.


Fantastic placement!


Mirror, mirror on the floor - you are the fairest of them all!
(Sorry couldn't help it.)

The juxtaposition is awesome!


Alluring!


The start of something wonderful.
