i spy: shiny objects.
welcome to the working week, kids. except, yay — it’s a short one, at least for those of us stateside. i thought i’d spy some shiny objects today. i’m just feelin’ festive. i’ve got family coming into town for the thanksgiving holiday, and i’m running around trying to add a bit of spit and shine to the house (oh, and i’m going to offer up a bit more on that shortly).

Oooh I love a bit of gold! Delightful post – especially loOove the Tomas Kral glassware!
this stuff is awesome! the mirrored trunk? the old-fashioned gold lightswitch? love it.
i need that mirrored trunk immediately. i can’t believe she got that gem for $15!!
Beautiful – my favorites (although not shiny in that kind of sense) are the circus lights in the bedroom. Cheers, Igor xoxo
Loving that golden pouf!
Love the gold glassware
Thank you so much for including my photograph here. We must be thinking the same these days, because I am obsessing about all things that sparkle and shine lately. Have a wonderful holiday! xoxo -A.

all of these are so fabulous! i love the light switch plate. and i am a sucker for chandeliers too!
It is always nice to have something shiny here and there, especially in rooms that are more rustic and matte. Great selection of images.
Cheers,
