Mirrored Vignette

After looking for an affordable piece of mirrored furniture for about a year, I was so excited when I found this small dresser at Home Sense in November.

It's small enough to fit in our living room, but large enough to have a bit of presence and some storage too!  But I have been having a lot of trouble with what exactly to put on top of the dresser, and how to arrange it.

Just after Christmas, it looked like this:

A bit of a victim of what was just hanging around and needed some place to go, as you can tell by the sad poinsettia, still in it's cheap gold wrapper.  And right now, it's the best place for our phone, which is not helping the "pretty" factor!

In April, I'd finally ditched the Christmas flower and moved on to something more springy.

However, while it doesn't really show in this picture, those adorable gray boxes are just not the right match with my light gray chairs.

And this is where I am today.  I finally hung the picture, but I'm not sure if that's quite right either.  I picked up the bird tray from the fantastic store House/Boat (I cannot find a website!) when we were on Salt Spring Island in May.

I like some elements, but I know this look isn't set in stone either.  Do you have any suggestions of what I should try next?

Wishlist Wednesday

I would love to upgrade my current "coffee table" - actually a brown ottoman from Wal-Mart - to something much more glamorous.  I think this gorgeous mirrored coffee table from The Cross would be perfect.

It is featured in my most favourite living room, looking very icy and cool.

A similar one also makes an appearance on the cover of the current issue of House Beautiful.  This room makes the table look much warmer to me, maybe because it's sort of snuggled up with the ottoman.

...just as beautiful up close!

Would this table (or something else from these rooms) be on your wishlist?
