Reflecting on recent retro style
Well, it’s been a minute!
This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
A post on learning to run the race, even if you’re still figuring it all out…
Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.
Yes, I went there! I decided to turn my favorite Easter candy into a full-sized dessert. Say hello to the Cadbury Creme Egg Sundae. Here’s the first in a series of recipes based on junk food that was popular in the ’80s…
There’s definitely something holographic going on… If you read design blogs, you may have noticed the appearance of items such as holographic pillows, party decorations and manicures. This holographic trend inspired today’s photo shoot!
Filled with the “latest” 1980s advice on revamping your home, Metropolian Home Renovation Style is also filled with amazing photos. I’m sharing a few of my favorites with you today, with a focus on interiors that showcase special features. Keep reading for more inspirational ’80s spaces…
Happy Spring! It may not be official yet, but once the sun returns and Daylight Savings has passed, it’s spring as far as I’m concerned. So I’m celebrating with a colorful photo shoot that features some of my favorite spring things, all set against a backdrop of silly string. Because this time of the year is all about vibrancy and fun!
When you hear the word “Eurostyle,” you might immediately think of sleek, modern European furnishings circa 1981. Marble and matte black reigned, and it was fabulous. But today we take a look at Eurostyle circa 1986, when it had become integrated into the American design climate. Think “old meets new” rather than “stark and modern”…
While it’s easy to get in a matchy-matchy rut when we decorate at home, it’s perfectly acceptable to mix and match. In fact, some would argue that it’s even more interesting to mix styles. Today we take a look at a few clean-lined modern and retro design styles that work well together!
Today I’m sharing an easy recipe for a mint shake with a boozy twist. Creme de menthe is the ingredient of choice, and this minty liqueur also gives the milkshake its signature hue. Since mint and pink are two of this season’s “it” colors, you can play up the pastel palette when you serve this drink with a kick. Read on for the super-simple recipe and more fun photos…
We spend a lot of time checking out awesome ’80s interiors here at Mirror80, but today we’re bringing the retro design story closer to home. Maybe you love 1980s style but you’re not wanting it to completely take over your interior. Or maybe you want to collect as many ’80s pieces as possible but you’re on a budget for now.

Today at Mirror80 it’s all about luxury…and nothing was quite as luxe as ’80s decadence. The beauty of luxe ’80s design is the way it combines neon lighting, plush textures, reflective surfaces, pastels and metallic accents. Keep reading for even more glitz and glam…
Happy Monday–today should be a colorful one! A new week brings new possibilities, so I’m sharing Mirror80’s latest photo shoot. It’s a blend of Memphis-Milano style and sculptural totem forms, and I’m calling it Stackables. For awhile now, I’ve been creating tabletop totems at home. My favorite items to use in stackables: vases, bowls, and dollar store items (such as ping pong balls, rubber band balls and other sporty items).
