Imagine if you will that money was no object. How would you decorate your home differently if you didn’t have your eye firmly fixed on your bank account? Me? My tastes are pretty simple. Clean lines, fresh bright whites, clutter-free rooms, simple patterns and pretty but inexpensive accessories. While I’m delighted by more extravagant pieces, they don’t quite fit the ol’ budget, so I’ve learned to do more with less and appreciate the beauty of simplicity — a philosophy I apply to life in general, not just my decorating tastes.
However, I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that my eyes lit up when I stumbled upon these ornate pieces from B.B. Simon. Decadent and over-the-top, their collection of home accents are beautiful and brilliant. They’re blinged to the hilt, decked out with Swarovski crystals and they have no place in my simple little condo. But this doesn’t mean I don’t love them! Each piece is so unique and original, they’ll add instant interest to your space, not to mention how they’ll up the glam factor.
Here are two of my faves from their collection: (Top to bottom: Crystal doorknobs, set of six, $160; Crystal framed mirror, $11,000, gulp.)

Our home decor carries an energy of simplicity as well, however that’s why I appreciate blogs like this and magazines, such as Style at Home, because I get to enjoy sweet luxuries vicariously through the photography. That doesn’t mean a girl still can’t dream that one day she’ll have a place for a Swarovski crystal mirror on her wall… THX for sharing, Lausen
I think we all enjoy the simple things in life. But there is nothing wrong with looking at these luxury pieces and say to ourselves “one day, one day.”
