Steampunk and The New Victorians

Steampunk aka The New Victorians is a wonderful new trend. Some say this vintage industrial steam era inspired interior and fashion trend was solidified with the amazing interiors of Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch of Roman and Williams hit the scene. Their design of hospitality spaces across the board is amazing!

Have you see the trend popping up? I feel like I see it everywhere... and I love it!

The Round Mirror... love love it!

I have seen them all over and I love it the round mirror..... It is a fantastic accent in any space. They work well in groupings, over the bed, over the mantle piece. Mirrors also provide an extension of any space by reflecting the objects, the colors in a space and help bring the outdoors in. Using mirrors throughout your space to create a sense of depth is a great design tool.


I have brought together some of my favorites here!




Convex mirror
Sunflower mirror



The foundry Mirror



Beveled round mirror

All of these mirrors are available on My Sparrow....

Tufting love

I don't know what it is but I currently adore the tufted chairs and sofas. In a natural linen or a soft blue- even leather makes me want them!! They are out there in plenty of styles and sizes- so you can find one that is just perfect for you. This style is traditionally called Chesterfield with it's high arms and tufting. There are a few different takes on these pieces here and they are all just perfect. Tufted pieces work with everything and are being used more and more in transitional design these days.
