A Sliver of Silver
I have seen many chests that are "all mirror." I like the balance of combining the painted finish with the mirror. Neiman Marcus $1589.
A little bit of Silver adds some sparkle and life to most any room in your home. Dressers, light fixtures, accessories and mirrors all fit the bill; and this is not a passing fancy. Silver furnishings have been featured prominently in well-designed interiors for many years. Antiques and originals can cost a pretty penny but there are also many companies producing pieces that are affordable and eye-catching.

Some simple tips:
- Re-frame a favorite piece of artwork with a silver frame. Go with polished silver for a contemporary look or antique silver for something more traditional.
- Change the knobs on your dresser with something sparkly. It’s an easy fix with a lot of impact.
- Choose a silver drapery pole and rings which draws more attention than stained wood.
- Accent tables are meant to be just that, accents! Why not select one that stands out?
