Star light, Star bright, Starburst on my wall tonight!

Starburst mirrors…Okay so maybe they are a little overexposed. Or possibly even a lot! And yes, you can find a not-so-fantastic knock-off in about any price these days (and even a few almost fabulous ones!) But I still happen to think the great ones are worth discussing again!

These glamorous silhouettes have certainly added a ray of light into some of my favorite projects over the past several years.  And like a great animal print, you know the fabulous silk velvet $1500 per yard kind, a great starburst mirror is never cliché and always in style!

I had fun using them in these beautiful spaces!

I am crazy about this one on my living room wall!
And here are a few more of my favorite styles! 

Julian Chichester makes this fabulous find!

 

This Stunning yet simple design from the renown Parish-Hadley Design Firm is produced by Baker Furniture.  Can you Classic??

 Also by Baker, this Thomas Pheasant style is much more exotic.  For me, it conjures up images of the 1980′s and the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.  Or more recently, Xena Warrior Princess.  I think it is strong and sexy and definelty has a masculine feel!

And as if these weren’t enough, there are some AMAZING antique starburst mirrors ranging from the 19th century to the 1920′s that are to die for! Check some out on www.1stdibs.com!

If you haven’t already, you should try going glam with one of these soon!
