Decorating with Beautiful Mirrors and More: Friday Finds
First, I want to thank all of you who commented on this week’s book giveaway post saying how much you love my blog! Your kinds word were so refreshing during a stressful week. Some of you mentioned how you start your day with a cup of coffee while reading Town and Country Living. That truly warms my heart and keeps me motivated to keep blogging. You are very much appreciated!! But now, let’s get started with this week’s list of treasures, which I think you’re going to love.

Fall is such a great season for decorating – adding layers, pillows, and things of comfort to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Check out the top five materials designers like to use when crafting a cozy living space.
Take a look at this simple bedroom makeover that took an okay space to an oo-la-la space. The result is a richer looking room with a welcoming, intimate vibe. She even painted over the wallpaper!
This time of year is when I usually switch from iced espresso drinks to warm ones. Have you tried any of these four good-for-you coffee options? I’ve tasted number four on the list and was surprised how much I liked it!
Raise your hand if you’re obsessed with mirrors like I am! It’s not that I enjoy gazing at my reflection, I simply have a thing for vintage mirrors that have aged beautifully. I came across this article about common mistakes when decorating with mirrors. And yes, I’m guilty of having too many – although I’ve managed to purge some of them over the past couple of years.
Have you been to the Adirondack mountains? I never have, but it’s on my bucket list of places to visit. World Atlas shares its list of 8 fairytale towns in the Adirondacks. If you’ve visited the area, see if you agree.
Enjoy your weekend – we’re slated for warm weather again. I’m going apple picking with my son and his family. What do you have going on?
Great posts! Have a wonderful time making memories with your son and his family. ❤️
Thanks so much Deb!
Both links (decorating with mirrors and fairytale towns) go to decorating with mirrors…at least in Canada they do.
Hi Leisa! Thanks for letting me know. I updated the link to the Adirondack towns. You can find that article here: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/8-fairy-tale-small-towns-in-the-adirondack-mountains.html
I do have a few mirrors and actually they are placed exactly as they’re suppose to be, surprising!! Thanks, I always enjoy your Friday Finds.
I haven’t tried any of those coffee’s but I would think olive oil might be greasy. I love mirrors and I do have many and still have. LOL Off to look at Fairytale Towns I need to cheer up.
Hi Diana! The olive oil coffee I tasted at Starbuck’s in Chicago was actually quite good. I haven’t been able to find out out here in the ‘burbs. I hope the fairytale towns were able to cheer you up!
Jennifer,
I do appreciate your posts; guess I have taken you for granted. Sorry about that. I live in Oneida NY, upstate/CNY but have also lived in and visited the North Country towns and villages all my life. As pretty as those photos, etc. look and sound on the ad you featured, poverty is the honest picture there. Everyone lives for the tourist season, many businesses are open only summer, leaf peeping fall and winter, if lately they even have snow. And with no rain for a few seasons, the fall leaf trips have dwindled, everything is just brown. Last winter we had a ton of snow out of nowhere that was hit and miss- Someplaces had nothing, and others were buried! Like my son and DIL in Camden! I would invite anyone, everywhere to come to true upstate NY, also the Hudson Valley, Catskills and Finger Lakes regions. Get a real look at NYS, beyond the City. It is beautiful, historic and worth exploring.
Hi Susan! Thank you for this information. It’s sad to hear that places live for tourist season and struggle other times of the year. I have never been to upstate New York but it’s on my bucket list. I need to make a trip out there soon and enjoy its natural beauty. Sounds like there’s so much to explore!
