French Country With A Twist: Mirrors Add Dimension

French Country With A Twist

French Country style emerged from small villages in southern France. The accessories, patterns, colors of nature came from the region of Provence. Colors are pulled directly from the landscape:sages, lavenders, sky blues, peony pink and sunny yellow. French Country marries European elegance with rustic country striking the perfect balance of comfort and charm. The warmth of French beauty fits into elegant homes and country houses adding old world sensibility with an edge of sophistication.

Mirrors Add Dimension

The entry hall is a wonderful space for a gilded mirror because it adds depth to the room. I love the way it reflects off different places in the family room, stairs, and dining room. The chandelier from our dining room table glows in the reflection.

I fell in love with this piece at a San Diego Antique Store fifteen years ago. It has been a friend ever since. The curved edges go well with French Country. The design reminds me of gold leaf from era's gone by. I'm not sure of the age of the mirror since it was purchased as an antique. I believe the sales person thought it was 1920's.
