I recently saw this wonderful Brussels home that was originally a mirror factory and wanted to share it with you.<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dK92U8-OI/AAAAAAAADzw/sfyaIHpNcFQ/s1600-h/z-marie+claire+Brussells.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428890302234294498" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dK92U8-OI/AAAAAAAADzw/sfyaIHpNcFQ/s400/z-marie+claire+Brussells.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>The owner, an artist, has lovingly restored and refurbished the factory over the course of several years. The dining room above features a naturally worn farm table and a collection of antique cream chairs with a wonderful patina. The cupboard is made from several old pieces of wood and houses only part of the owners extensive glass collection. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428889226319502898" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJ_OO4HjI/AAAAAAAADzQ/lq8fc0-SDIw/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Hall.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> The large entry is painted a beautiful buttery cream while the ceilings and upper mouldings are painted a contrasting white. The doors and built in mirrors add to the already light filled space. An antique woodworker's table is a beautiful place to display the owners collection of vintage hats. The light fixture is from IKEA.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428889234312656290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJ_sAl9aI/AAAAAAAADzg/InDRrvj2_V8/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+kitchen+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> The kitchen is so wonderfully rustic. Old library shelving is painted white and used to display the huge collection of dishes and serving pieces. An antique library ladder is used to retrieve those items too high to reach. Notice the thickness of the shelves; thicker shelves were created to handle the weight of the different types of crockery. I love the interesting contrast of the industrial style faucet.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428889229101761746" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJ_YmOBNI/AAAAAAAADzY/NxFjYtBmEgY/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+kitchen.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> The owners extensive glass collection is housed in an antique museum case that was painted a soft white to match the walls and highlight the glass. A collection of old unmatched chairs were also painted in soft pastels which unify them. The soft colors and leaning antique mirror add to airiness of the room. Interestingly the light fixture, which matches the entry fixture is also from IKEA. </div><div align="center"><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJ_0R87NI/AAAAAAAADzo/BIa-WhKM4JU/s1600-h/z-marie+claire+Belgian+library.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428889236532948178" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJ_0R87NI/AAAAAAAADzo/BIa-WhKM4JU/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+library.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The library, which doubles as the owners studio is washed in gray paint. The library shelving was also painted and holds the owners extensive collection of books. A vintage stepladder makes the high shelves accessible. I love the wide pine floors, softened from years of use left natural and waxed. The light in this room is just fabulous.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428888837881135298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJonL9AMI/AAAAAAAADy4/BXkIKRUKtcM/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Bedroom.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></div><div align="center">One of several bedrooms -I included this room because I adore the wall moulding. </div><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJpLWxc4I/AAAAAAAADzI/XnMt_PlxA0U/s1600-h/z-marie+claire+BelgianBath.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428888847590192002" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJpLWxc4I/AAAAAAAADzI/XnMt_PlxA0U/s400/z-marie+claire+BelgianBath.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Here is the adjacent bath. I like the mix of pieces in this space. The antique painted table looks so interesting with the reproduction tub.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJo1VHwaI/AAAAAAAADzA/3iSBjuDtdxg/s1600-h/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Painting.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428888841677685154" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJo1VHwaI/AAAAAAAADzA/3iSBjuDtdxg/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Painting.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> This is the trompe-l'oeil<span style="color:#ffff00;"> </span>bedroom. A closer look reveals a wall of canvas painted by the owner to look like pillows and headboard. A vintage industrial metal stool serves as night stand.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJoqpikDI/AAAAAAAADyw/3K8izSQ18Yg/s1600-h/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Dressing+room.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428888838810538034" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S1dJoqpikDI/AAAAAAAADyw/3K8izSQ18Yg/s400/z-marie+claire+Belgian+Dressing+room.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Finally another bath - I just adore the way the owner painted/washed the wall in a soft green. An antique cupboard holds extra towels and sundries for guests.<br /><br />For more information about this wonderful factory turned home in Brussels click<a href="http://www.marieclairemaison.com/,une-chambre-en-trompe-l-oeil,200264,40498,8"> here</a>.<br /><br /><div align="left">.</div><span style="font-size:78%;">(all photos marieclairemaison)</span><br /></div></div></div>

Certain colors create  feeling of  rest and calm.  Bright tones are more contemporary and youthful.   Here are a few rooms where color creates mood.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_TMzd1EijHcAdc5PKJF8r30r4Z7lSgP5RKIeWJxv7n8GTgkB_DPyUCyJjoA3QRY2GzdQv8rFRe8iLwrWFPFG2N5wFrMA7-nXbmnpTNNlSMd2brWccLW1MnEVFhrOOnkayHdFYQPJ5XWo/s1600-h/5b3976084271.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966373392838994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_TMzd1EijHcAdc5PKJF8r30r4Z7lSgP5RKIeWJxv7n8GTgkB_DPyUCyJjoA3QRY2GzdQv8rFRe8iLwrWFPFG2N5wFrMA7-nXbmnpTNNlSMd2brWccLW1MnEVFhrOOnkayHdFYQPJ5XWo/s1600/5b3976084271.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cozy, masculine</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FO0oOhxNHxb5jBlu-pX-wiI_OyvlZKBv4adhFvtRUrD4vzX7078_WagHeydNpqqDMmwMBd3YEEzQq5QHDVKH8RQKD8wtWQVYqNvOc65-A40RYFjIS5i7VmCKqJMkMhdGmGJ-xI8y6cw/s1600-h/accb0f9278ef.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966393033275730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-FO0oOhxNHxb5jBlu-pX-wiI_OyvlZKBv4adhFvtRUrD4vzX7078_WagHeydNpqqDMmwMBd3YEEzQq5QHDVKH8RQKD8wtWQVYqNvOc65-A40RYFjIS5i7VmCKqJMkMhdGmGJ-xI8y6cw/s1600/accb0f9278ef.jpg" /></a><br /><br />calm and soothing</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcd1umuQYIUAnT9wHacx4gOTy4b9vvgkJwR8JXS8zpN6yJAlSDtYaAfHXvVPR4ptllAPaBZtDV5spLn-_NTF9dJrZtIZAFsTzwdwQdDM1CK1Iqq-ITUA1ydAt2HikE3d3A3ypH42YF6My/s1600-h/6a00e54fccb6d288340115715b3640970c-800wi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcd1umuQYIUAnT9wHacx4gOTy4b9vvgkJwR8JXS8zpN6yJAlSDtYaAfHXvVPR4ptllAPaBZtDV5spLn-_NTF9dJrZtIZAFsTzwdwQdDM1CK1Iqq-ITUA1ydAt2HikE3d3A3ypH42YF6My/s1600/6a00e54fccb6d288340115715b3640970c-800wi.jpg" /></a></div>fresh and clean<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYZMybvUJSojkLgnE0xGX5gao-1C9_QyfQqUZ8rSBX8tNKP7NKz2TFY1IDc2QpEBAebd9enzu_u5lO4q88SsyqkN5XHmcJQXUpaGP5rtCSd1FiLvPQVdf7SbOb1K9PnR3dJiPG6jOkh-l/s1600-h/IMG_1244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYZMybvUJSojkLgnE0xGX5gao-1C9_QyfQqUZ8rSBX8tNKP7NKz2TFY1IDc2QpEBAebd9enzu_u5lO4q88SsyqkN5XHmcJQXUpaGP5rtCSd1FiLvPQVdf7SbOb1K9PnR3dJiPG6jOkh-l/s640/IMG_1244.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">warm, inviting</div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">DRESSING THE BED</div><div style="text-align: center;">The focal point of a bedroom should be, of course, the bed.  <br /><br />It should invite, be comfortable, and be beautiful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj5xnbpWQA5VgkfhHjaA0zufEWbI6vVrR0F0rdTJk5AVJnAt059kh79IFThrEFKmdbk9bIzadc90Ds9At7Z8HCOxGLo4-kGov25976TZ8M4NQZK70h3eouCBnskY4SmYWfyhsZ4AKJTkM8/s1600-h/Gold+Bedding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj5xnbpWQA5VgkfhHjaA0zufEWbI6vVrR0F0rdTJk5AVJnAt059kh79IFThrEFKmdbk9bIzadc90Ds9At7Z8HCOxGLo4-kGov25976TZ8M4NQZK70h3eouCBnskY4SmYWfyhsZ4AKJTkM8/s1600/Gold+Bedding.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtoM1Qa1FqhWZ9yEOxFpM2Jj5z0nVEGXD3oNvlesR0PAXF6Vtk_OAcrRNGbk2z1oZq6Rai-Valf_ajmWO7rlb6hvXKEgAKPdZC6aS_duYIoTIIQZu_jOPQdO6zbjzabPIn6AnqPt_5412/s1600-h/HC-8483_mp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtoM1Qa1FqhWZ9yEOxFpM2Jj5z0nVEGXD3oNvlesR0PAXF6Vtk_OAcrRNGbk2z1oZq6Rai-Valf_ajmWO7rlb6hvXKEgAKPdZC6aS_duYIoTIIQZu_jOPQdO6zbjzabPIn6AnqPt_5412/s640/HC-8483_mp.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Layers are the key when dressing a bed. Whether creating an ultra feminine bed, a clean lined contemporary styled bed, or a childs bed - comfort is expressed in layers. A bed is layered with sheets, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, duvets - all to bring luxury and comfort to your room. High thread count sheets not only wear longer, but feel more luxurious. A down comforter adds warmth without weight. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIVmdxBp0uzbqHDVUOL-OldxoKoKOXHWG6S3dFUOvbBeojYG1TvGJxKl2DERZdMCCEJwO_YGR6xFlrQkKYveip6yZHi_cNMb1SFJIMWer0rkyI6lkKEAGoRTHc7gJkbUUpXGMIGRfCmXhd/s1600-h/grand_prize_photo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIVmdxBp0uzbqHDVUOL-OldxoKoKOXHWG6S3dFUOvbBeojYG1TvGJxKl2DERZdMCCEJwO_YGR6xFlrQkKYveip6yZHi_cNMb1SFJIMWer0rkyI6lkKEAGoRTHc7gJkbUUpXGMIGRfCmXhd/s1600/grand_prize_photo2.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUiLLIrU800_VidrYmZWf9ZtwEF4vCD0RvwXJLzBYAltRXJtcVl23CIheWMJN3-Nab1cOQXuyKRwQW99nRGum7T_SC1NoPjrRI-FV_LAwRGmZ-jwCladroZ7vI1zPiJma88vOHBrWWbEJm/s1600-h/fresh+green+bedding.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUiLLIrU800_VidrYmZWf9ZtwEF4vCD0RvwXJLzBYAltRXJtcVl23CIheWMJN3-Nab1cOQXuyKRwQW99nRGum7T_SC1NoPjrRI-FV_LAwRGmZ-jwCladroZ7vI1zPiJma88vOHBrWWbEJm/s1600/fresh+green+bedding.bmp" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2vWowAujaQppf-5W20X_fQr-EFFNG00iswYlCzR8-Vh2s32EdBLpCAh-dzC1sWguyYIIN4Gy3eFbD_bggB0g261GVfZeavpr7J2Bo-QnJk5-u7vydv_WxflIxuG-YAM4ER4glSEDH3SU/s1600-h/image172_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="479" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2vWowAujaQppf-5W20X_fQr-EFFNG00iswYlCzR8-Vh2s32EdBLpCAh-dzC1sWguyYIIN4Gy3eFbD_bggB0g261GVfZeavpr7J2Bo-QnJk5-u7vydv_WxflIxuG-YAM4ER4glSEDH3SU/s640/image172_thumb.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An upholstered headboard can add another layer of fabric, color and softness.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAvZLFZRQ5YSULAAd5itTrLqYjTuPt3JvbWXjaGeuzu-3LQZyUcmrM5jxyvb58EhZicTOo9MAnI_xuiD8v0C5TLYBzcbpJ6ijKyB3TXifQ4Fth6jYUO3bJcWXooYXCbfIFSM7OkX1VRU/s1600-h/bf01ef2f3240.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966382346265986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFAvZLFZRQ5YSULAAd5itTrLqYjTuPt3JvbWXjaGeuzu-3LQZyUcmrM5jxyvb58EhZicTOo9MAnI_xuiD8v0C5TLYBzcbpJ6ijKyB3TXifQ4Fth6jYUO3bJcWXooYXCbfIFSM7OkX1VRU/s1600/bf01ef2f3240.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86ftcxZtEHAKBz3q0c3cosZBvz7jreW7lBpMRdvYVtoxGNyfu4UMqSfSPuvaLFpYUEFljtgLs0fLXJNXm_oaqe8rXN13YovSd_buyU9vlDkEvAKYB-MRrn_k1EYqNKTQuXRpIY2wyrXwv/s1600-h/1328110_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86ftcxZtEHAKBz3q0c3cosZBvz7jreW7lBpMRdvYVtoxGNyfu4UMqSfSPuvaLFpYUEFljtgLs0fLXJNXm_oaqe8rXN13YovSd_buyU9vlDkEvAKYB-MRrn_k1EYqNKTQuXRpIY2wyrXwv/s400/1328110_xl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">FURNISHINGS</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />Bedroom furniture needs to be functional, but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring.
