Mirror Mirror On The Wall :: A Decorating Solution

Mirrors are your best friend. Mickey Rourke's best friend is a shroud over the mirror. But you, my friend, will find that mirrors are freaking awesome. Awesome like seeing Luke Perry naked in that episode of "Oz" when he was going to church. They are a fantastic investment, and you can usually pick them up cheap of Craigslist or at a thrift store.

I was waiting for my potential client to arrive at their house. Seems someone else was waiting for them, too.

Alycia Wicker :: The Moxie of Interior Design (aka Legos and White Zombie)
5October 24, 2009
"That's when I realized the power of design and the power of moxie. I went my own way. I never knew if my design would be a hit, but going boldly into a different design path, one that hasn't been seen a thousand times over I found what true interior design moxie is. By thinking outside of the box, getting excited about the design, and inspiring people to dream what is possible -- I found me.
Since then, I haven't designed any more macabre designs, but I still think of that project from time to time. It reminds me to design in a way that makes people think. It reminds me to design for people. People who would rather keep it real, and not just go with what hoity-toity designers say is good." [ . . . ]
