Forever making changes to our home and that is the fun and creative part. The curved staircase is one of my favorite features in this house, but it has been a little challenging for me to decorate over the years. November and December are easy because the space is perfect for the Christmas tree. January to October, hmmm . . . .
This weekend I finally hung some mirrors on the wall. I tried one large starburst mirror at first, but it wouldn’t hang because of the curve and where the hook needed to be, so I ended up using a trio of smaller mirrors. (On a side note, talk about starburst mirror crazy- I realized I have two in our bedroom, one in the half bath, and now three here.)
I had the blue/greyish settee from Target for a long time, but recently covered it with our Ikea throw and added some patterned pillows. This geometric rug wasn’t being used, so I added it for some fun pattern play. I love the pop of green that the plant brings- the tag says it requires bright light so I’ve been moving it to the dining room window sometimes. It seems to be doing okay for now. The woven basket is from HomeGoods.
I already had the mirrors and was going to put them over the headboard in the guest room. The far left mirror I had spray painted gold, then painted black when I decided to use it here. I think they are all from Target. The smaller one comes in a pack of two. Seeing them photographed makes me think I need to play with the arrangement a little more.
The rug was also a HomeGoods find. It may be too busy, but I’m working with what I have for now.
The Nate Burkus lamp is from Target also and the side table is Overstock. What do you think of this little makeover?
I hope you have a great week! I think I finally figured out how to make TWITTER more enjoyable for me by finding some new friends over the weekend. If you want to follow me, I’m @honeywerehome

Love the whole look! That rug is so pretty and I love how the cane plant gives a little touch of brightness to the area.
Yes, so glad I added the plant- life and green!
We love a good staircase! Looks great… I've been wanting that Overstock table and love seeing it in your space! Happy Week!!

I love all the geo b + w. That rug and side table are awesome! xo Kristin
I love the pop of gold with that little side table. Did you find hanging flat mirrors on a sloped wall difficult?

These mirrors hung okay, but the first one wouldn't bc of the curve.
It looks amazing! I wouldn't change a thing. Love all the different patterns and textures.
Wow, looks fantastic! I love the throw mixed with the patterned pillows.
It's fabulous, Megan! I LOVE your mix of patterns and think the rug is perfect! That throw from Ikea rocks, isn't it the best buy!
I really like it- have also seen it in some other blogger's homes. 🙂
I love the throw over the settee and the plant! I love the bright fun pop of green in otherwise neutral spaces!!!
Love how this looks! Envious of that curved staircase.
I love it. It all works together. I love the little mirrors too.
This looks fabulous, I really like black and white decorating. A green pillow on the settee might be nice also!
I have a cool green pillow I can try- it has a trellis pattern.
Looks beautiful Megan! I don't think the rug is too busy at all. Looks great with the throw and pillows.
Ooooh I really like the new mirrors…it gives some style and dimension to the space.

Wow- followed for a year, thanks so much! I had one mirror painted gold but it blended too much with the wall so I painted it black. The green throw is one of my favorite parts of the fall decor post! 😉
Oh the ever changing entry..you crack me up! I like the starburst mirrors! I think a long rectangular abstract artwork would look fantastic in the space next to them.
