A Golden Girls Friendsgiving

November 14, 2017 by Kate 2 Comments

Welcome to Mirror80’s Thank You for Being a Friend-sgiving!!! Because there’s no other way to host friends this Turkey Day.

February 23, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Anyone else been watching a LOT of Golden Girls on Hulu?! I’m soaking up every episode and taking in all of the amazing interior design. One of the most comforting sets is the Golden Girls’ kitchen. That beige wallpaper, those Chippendale chairs…the ever-evolving array of tropical tablecloths! Time to see if we can recreate the look in our homes with the help of retro-modern decor.

1980s Interior Design: Golden Girls Style!

June 21, 2011 by Kate 40 Comments

Thank you for being a friend. Not just because you were on my TV screen every week, Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia. But because a sense of peace came over me every time the opening credits of The Golden Girls ended and the screen was filled with a close-up of your house. And then we were transported inside, where tropical fabric, high ceilings and a plethora of lush plants were juxtaposed with your over-sized clothing and large enamel jewelry.

This weekend while I was having fun with the Mirror80 Pinterest boards, I couldn’t help but notice one important fact: 1stdibs is an amazing treasure trove for high-end ’80s furniture! If you’re a serious collector, you’re in luck. And if you’re not, you can still probably find some good deals (or at least a splurge or two).

The ’80s Connection: Skylar Strickland

August 29, 2013 by Kate 5 Comments

Recently I’ve had the pleasure of striking up a correspondence with Skylar Strickland, an expert on the topic of 1980s design. His vast knowledge on the decade’s best interiors, decor trends and product design quickly became evident, especially when he gave me a glimpse of his extensive collection of design links, images and finds. While growing up in Florida, Skylar lived in a home filled with cutting-edge ’80s treasures. Meanwhile, many of us who were kids during that time grew up in locations where that detailed level of artful 1980s design was… well, let’s just say it wasn’t happening. What was it like being at the center of the decade’s design best? Let’s find out by talking with an expert who isn’t afraid to share his opinion…
