Creative Decorating Ideas

I have mixed emotions about the first photo in this post. As you can see, they've used mirrors to visually raise the height of this short window. I admire the creativity and the concept for sure. Maybe I would like it better if the console table underneath were just painted solid. Also not sure I like the fact that the chandelier, etc. is reflected. It feels busy for my taste. What do you think?

It might the "norm" to center a smaller mirror above this settee, but I'm loving the scale of this mirror!

The way they painted the turquoise detail under (or on - can't tell) the molding here is unique and striking. I didn't notice when I first decided to use this photo, but they also painted above the base molding.

My natural inclination would be to center the art above each bed, but I like the way that they've chosen to relate the art to the center arrangment rather than the headboards. Mixes it up a bit and makes it more unique.

Hope you're having a great day!
