Broken mirrors and frames seem to be all too common on the streets of New York City. I happen to have a roomate who breaks them surprisingly often. (Perhaps due to emotional outburst??) Explanation unnecessary… we happen to have quite a few broken mirror chunks lying about the apartment. As of late, I have been putting them around plants to help increase their light exposure. Also, I have stuck some to the wall around candles as to enhance the light output. After finding a beautiful antique oval frame, I decide to recreate a mirror on the wall. (See photo.) Next to it is a (pothos?) plant and wooden plant stand, both found in the trash earlier last year.

As for the mushrooms… I have lately taken to cutting mushroom prints out of cardboard boxes from supermarkets. You’d be surpised just how many there are… and how cute they can be! Someday, I’ll take some more detailed photos of them to post on here.

Lastly, the walls are painted a lovely shade of pale green. Often, when I see paint cans lying around on the street, I drag them home with me. I mixed a darker green with a pastel yellow base to make this custom shade for the kitchen! Can you believe that I had enough to cover a kitchen with 12 foot ceilings?!
