We've noticed one small detail in many of the ultra-chic house tours from AT:Europe. Mirrors flanked by a pair of candlestick lamps seem to be a staple in Parisian homes. Click below for 3 ways to get this look at home...

We love this classic combination, and our grandmother's house had many of these arrangements. The groupings helped to elevate spaces that would have otherwise been a little blah. She used them on the mantle, in her guest room, and in her entryway. Any of these combinations would work in a similar setting:

For an old-school look: a cream and gold leafed mirror with a pair of Barovier Italian glass lamps, both from Douglas Rosin Antiques on 1stdibs.

Forget the mirror and lamps, I've found the headboard of my dreams! I'm going to check pier 1, does anyone have other ideas of where to find a screen like that (I assume that's what it is).

I love that headboard too!

ValHalla, World Market would be a great place to check for screens like that.
