DIY: Lattice Mirror Table



Q: What do you get when you combine a mirror and a table?
A: The most affordable mirrored lattice coffee table!

As most of you know, I have another blog called A Sweet Concoction. I haven't updated in a while since I've been focusing most of my free time on this blog! That was my first blog and I'm still very much attached to it. I offered easy & affordable DIY interior decorating tips that anybody can do! One of my favorite entries was this bathroom makeover. I have decided, for now, to only update this blog regularly, but will also offer interior decorating tips as well!I want to say upfront that I do not have ANY experience in design. It's something I do for fun and that I enjoy very much! I think style and design go hand in hand so hopefully my tips will inspire some of you!

With that said, this entry is a perfect example of how I like to decorate. I try to look at pieces that I already own and "upgrade" them some how to create something new and improved. I quickly fell in love with this lattice mirror that I found at Home Goods for $99. I originally bought this for my old bedroom but decided to go out on the limb and make a mirrored coffee table out of it! It fit perfectly onto my coffee table that I bought to Philadelphia. It was a match made in heaven. :)

Terrain @ Styer








This past weekend, my friend came down to Philly to visit me. I've been dying to take her to Styer's Garden Cafe for brunch. Located in Glenn Mills, PA, it is about a 30 minute drive from the city. Terrain at Styers is Urban Outfitters 4th venture project, and this new home and garden lifestyle concept is executed so beautifully. Terrain is a greenhouse/retail store/cafe all in one. It carries a gorgeous blend of house ware items, garden related items, hand made soap, and even offers a full range of landscaping services.

The cafe is located inside a bright greenhouse space. The food was amazing! Fresh, local ingredients are only used, and the menu changes with the season. I ordered a beet & carrot burger with herbs and pesto goat cheese. It's by far one of the best meals I have had in PA. I will definitely be going back to Terrain soon...possibly this weekend??
