Mirror, Mirror on the Wall


Domino

I had the perfect mirror for our new condo. It was gold, faux bamboo, Hollywood Regency perfection. Basically this mirror's gilded twin. My mom found it for $60.00 at an antique store back home. What a score, right?! Unfortunately, UPS got its hands on it and despite layers of packing material and 4 fragile stickers, they still managed to shatter the mirror and break the frame in 6 places. Oh, and did I mention they refuse to pay for the insurance? Yeah, I'm now a FedEx girl!

Anyway, it's time for me to end my state of mourning and find a new mirror for our living room. This honeycomb mirror is definitely a contender! I was immediately reminded of this room from Domino. It's currently on sale for $199 but I think I'll hold out till Memorial Day weekend and see if there are additional savings to be had.
What do you think? Do you love it as much as I do?

  8. Wow! So sorry about your mirror, but the new pick is truly amazing! Good luck with it, I know it will be gorgeous. I think UPS now gets at least seven years of bad luck...right?
