DECORISTA DIY: python mirror

I have always been a fan of python when it comes to home accessories. Especially items that get covered with python paper like desks, side tables, bookshelves, and the like that have been seen in the glossies. However, the second I saw this gorgeous black and gold python mirror I knew I had to have a piece for myself. So, I turned to one of my favorite DIYers, Jen, for inspiration and now, with a little bit of work, I have the perfect gold and black python mirror for my very own apartment. 
UPDATE: this gold and black python wrapping paper was found on this EBAY shop.

DIY home decor ideas...

I am a true crafter at heart. I really don't have much time to do it with everything going on here in the city but I just couldn't resist sharing some very crafty DIY ideas that speak to me. The second I saw these cute little pots covered in fabric, I thought...how adorable! check out my fave DIY ideas...

The Decorista tip of the day...add stripes for a quick pick-me-up!

This weekend in LA was the gloomiest of the season so far. 
I haven't spent that much time indoors in a while. It got me thinking...
While the weather starts to get gloomier, my bar area needed a little pick-me-up.
So I painted some stripes to perk myself up.
It totally worked and now I am in love.

(as always, please forgive my poor photography skills...one day!)
