apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I always throught those printing press drawer were good for something! These are cheap $15-5 at the flea market/antique faire ... and appears very serendipidous!

I've hung a full length mirror on the wall above my stairs. The stairwell is a bit dark, so it brightens it up.
And, it was one of the few places in the house that we could hang a big mirror, so now you can "multi task" and check out your day's outfit as you are heading down to breakfast.

I just see another place to put useless stuff. What's next? Ceilings? Sad.

I agree with Gustaf. little tchochkies and trinket in every free spot of a house irritate me. I believe in using restraint. an interesting piece of art might be a different story however.

But what a great place to grow dust bunnies! And in the event of an earthquake, or even a good door slam, you can play 52 pickup.

This looks like an earthquake-related accident waiting to happen.

so 1982... but that would be a nice place for a large painting.

The scale is all wrong - why put tiny things in a place where no one can get close enough to see it?

I can imagine other things in that space - but all large enough to see from the viewing distance.

And, yes, not anything that is going to collect lots of dust.

sepitts--I love your mirror idea. I have a dark stairwell, too, but there is a window the mirror could reflect. I may just try that. Thanks.
