What a Nice Surprise!

Flipping through the latest issue of High Gloss Magazine I almost fell off the chair when I got to page 52. I immediately recognized it as one of my favorite rooms of all time, and was so excited to get to see and read more about it:
*
It’s the very home of Interior Designer Mary McGee. I just love seeing how a room changes with time, don’t you? Mary exchanged her classic brown velvet sofa for a sleeker white one, and it totally changes the feel of the room. Brown accents are now exchanged for gray and purple ones, and she also got a new coffee table.
*
I’m so pleased to see she didn’t do anything with her wonderful mirror installation; which in my opinion, is the cherry on top to this room. I have a big mirror over my sofa, and have been toying with the idea of layering a nice curved mirror over it like Mary did. Thank you for the inspiration Mary!!
*
Here’s her cozy dining area. Notice how wonderfully the white accents pop in that dark bookcase.
*
I just love how Mary carries the same basic color palette throughout her entire home, with only minor changes in accent color.

All the white is soothing but warm with the wood and fun pops of color.

Thank you, Linda, to take the time to solve the problem.
So many great interiors in this issue!
But let me say that I’m IN LOVE with the living room mirror (I think I have a thing with mirrors…)
