Roundup: Mirrored Cocktail Tables

CasaSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:00:41 -0700

I was taking a look at some set photos of Melrose Place and noticed this showstopping clover-shaped mirrored cocktail table. It was from Horchow/Neiman Marcus, but it doesn't look like it's available any longer - to be honest, this whole room looks like it could have been furnished by Horchow. Anyway, you know how I love mirrored furniture, so it's no surprise that this caught my eye. But seeing it makes me think if you're going to go for the glitzy trend, you may as well show it off to your cocktail party guests. So see a few of my mirrored cocktail table picks when you read more.

Less or More Quiz: Mirrored Furniture

CasaSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:00:22 -0700

Mirrored furniture is a trend that has lasted longer than I imagined it would. But, it was also popular in the '80s and then disappeared, so I wouldn't spend big bucks on it. That's especially true since you can find it at low and high price points. Take this quiz and let's see whether you can tell the difference between pricey mirrored furniture and more affordable versions.

Question 1 of 4

Steal of the Day: Pier 1 Mirrored Two-Tier Console Table

CasaSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:30:14 -0700

I often forget about Pier 1 because it doesn't do e-commerce, and there isn't a store very close to me. But that's not to say the retailer doesn't have a great selection - and great bargains. This Mirrored Two-Tier Console Table ($79.98, reduced from $149.95) is completely chic and versatile, and such a great deal. It has antiqued brass legs and antique mirrors with reverse etching details. Were you to buy an original in an antique store, it could cost you $900, but why put yourself through that pain? Accent tables such as this aren't something you need to invest in; you should spend your big bucks on larger pieces like sofas, dining tables, and armoires. Got a Pier 1 near you? What are you waiting for?

Su Casa: An Elegant Entry

CasaSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:00:30 -0700

Su Casa member PoshBride recently posted photos of her fabulous entry makeover. I love how elegant and feminine this space is!

She writes,

When we moved into our new home in February, I immediately envisioned the beautiful Sex and the City blue paint that covered Carrie's walls when she redecorated her apartment. I also loved her mirrored dressing table and searched high and low for an entryway piece at an affordable price. Once the walls were done, I fell in love with this fuchsia chair and somehow just knew it would accent the blue walls. The living room is not complete yet, but my little corner definitely makes me smile.

To see another photo of Poshbride's fuchsia chair, as well as my picks for mirrored side tables read more.

The fuchsia chair is a great addition to the space, and I love the idea that PoshBride has a luxuriously comfortable chair to sink into upon returning home. It's a great space for kicking off your heels, setting down your laptop bag, and relaxing into the evening.

Cool Idea: Mirrored Ping-Pong Table

CasaSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 07:00:00 -0800

You know how I love mirrored furniture, so it should come as no surprise that this mirrored Ping-Pong table caught my eye. To celebrate the kickoff of the "Reflection" exhibit by Argentinian artist Rirkrit Tiravanija at the Nyehaus gallery in New York, this regulation-size Ping-Pong table was made entirely of mirrors.The opening night featured an invitational table tennis tournament, and gallery visitors can take lessons with Ping-Pong champion Ernesto Ebuen at the table for $70-100 until the exhibit ends this Saturday. I'm not a Ping-Pong titleholder or anything, but I do love love love this table. It just makes me laugh, and would be a fun piece to have in a well-manicured backyard. It also would be quite cheeky to have a Ping-Pong dinner table, wouldn't it? I'm thinking, I'm thinking . . .

Casa Quickie: Mirrored Furniture That Doesn't Shatter the Bank

CasaSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:15:57 -0700

If you love mirrored furniture as much as I do, but don't have the dolla dolla bills to make it happen in your living room, there is hope. Find a piece of furniture you already own, or thrift one, and have a local glass cutter custom cut you a mirror (or several pieces of mirror) to the measurements of your table, dresser, etc. Sand the surface of your table lightly and adhere the mirror to your table with mirror adhesive like Liquid Nails. Presto! Your very own art deco-style furnishing. For detailed instructions, check out iVillage.

Crave Worthy: Valois Canopy Bed

CasaSugar — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:00:20 -0800

Spotted on AT:SF, the Niermann Weeks Valois Canopy Bed ($19,330) is pure luxury. Made of Venetian silver leaf with antiqued mirrored panels, it's more feminine boudoir than art deco design, and it's yet another reason to love mirrored furniture. Fit for a queen, for yours truly, or just anyone with 20 Gs to spare, it more than qualifies as Crave Worthy. I particularly love its icy gray-blue headboard; I wonder what material it's made of. Can't you see Princess Anne from Roman Holiday taking a snooze in this four-poster?

Crave Worthy: Symi Tray Coffee Table

CasaSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 12:00:39 -0800

If you want to get your hands on this elegant table as much as I do, read more and start saving! The Rian Rae Symi Tray Coffee Table ($2,145) is, to say the least, a little out of my price range. But a girl can dream, right? The 36-inch diameter table, which features a round mirror top and a folding base, is made of hand-forged wrought iron and plated in reflective nickel. Maybe channeling Narcissus isn't such a bad idea, after all . . .

Midday Muse: Another Reason Why Mirrored Furniture Is Cool

CasaSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:54:37 -0700

You might have noticed that I'm a huge fan of mirrored furniture, particularly mirrored coffee tables. Well, flipping through old photos of a night at the W Hotel in New Orleans, I found a snapshot of a friend applying rouge via-what else?-a mirrored coffee table!

Nice and New: west elm Mirror Coffee Table

CasaSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:02:10 -0700

Remember the mirrored furniture trend that I alerted you to in August? Well, the trend is still in, and west elm has just come out with a chic mirror coffee table ($449), so your living room can be dressed in the latest fashion. The table is pretty similar in shape to their popular Parsons table as well. They're calling it, "Something for hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and holiday décor to reflect on." What could be better?
