Mercury Glass and Antiqued Mirror

I have subscribed to Traditional Home magazine from the time I moved to America and credit it with my design education.

I loved the cover story in the March 2010 issue.

It focused on a home decorated in silver, which resonated with me because for the past couple of years I have been collecting mercury glass and antiqued mirror items like these...

Rosette wall mirror from Ethan Allen.

Candleholder from Target.

Antiqued Mirror Vanity from Horchow.

My home in town is very traditional, and to me nothing says traditional better than the sparkle of crystal or silver.
