Falling In Love With Facets

Hello Friends!  Remember you have one more day to enter the giveaway for some awesome metallic paint from Spectrum!

Today I wanted to cover a trend that is coming on strong!  FACETS!

I have been enjoying the faceted look for a little while now and every time I see a product or project featuring the look, I fall more and more in love!

The great thing about this look is that it can be super sophisticated and structurally complicated like the ceiling of this railway station. . .

  1. Mg! I've been loving faceted stuff lately so much! I am beyond excited to see how you pled this one off. Speaking of faceted stuff, have you seen the window displays at J. Crew lately? It's pretty awesome.

  4. I should have known that glass table was yours! I saw it on design sponge and it's been a favorite of mine. That mantle is amazing! How on earth did he make that? Did you use a mold? I hope you share with us!
