Mirrored Vanity..Found It!

I have been looking for everywhere for a mirrored vanity.  They are not cheap let me tell you!  To the tune of $300-$800 and upwards, for the size I wanted.  I was really having to reconsider the mirrored idea until about my 6th trip to Home Goods.  I saw it!  I was like a cat stalking it's prey.  I am serious.  I pounced on it as if there were a dozen women surrounding it (no one was even looking at it).  They were asking $199 and because there was a small damaged place in the back, they gave me 10% off!  Excited is an understatement.  I got flushed and giddy as if I hit the lottery!  Well, maybe not the lottery but you know when you feel like a vision isn't going to be revealed and you get all mopey?  Come on, you know.  I thought the mirrored vanity wasn't going to happen for me but not today friends! I'm doing the happy dance inside and giving mental high 5's.  Now that I'm typing my inner feelings, I'm questioning is it normal for someone to be so excited over such a thing.  I'm going with YES!

I digress, I bought the vanity and went straight to the craft store.  The vanity is mirrored but copperish (I make up words as I go along).  It's funny because it's almost the same color of my walls that I haven't gotten around to paint.  I am definitely over the dark color of the walls and the copperish color of the vanity.

I wanted to silver leaf the vanity but it is such a pain.  I am telling you, the decorating angels were with me because Liquid Leaf was waiting for me!

A small amount goes a long way!  You can't even tell it was copperish :)

I love it so much and love sitting there getting primped.  Beautiful does not have to be expensive.

Looking for a pretty vanity

Living in a house with My 3 Son's (Remember the show!  Maybe not for you youngin's) and my husband, I sometimes feel I need a total girly area of my own.  So, I'm on a mission AGAIN.  I'm going to make a space that is girly, feels feminine, and sophisticated.  Even though it's a small area, the space needs to house my makeup, hair tools, perfumes, etc. AKA...all things girly :)  I'm talking about a vanity!  A pretty vanity!!   I have been scouring the internet for vanity inspiration. 

I know that I want a "light" feeling, not a "heavy" piece.  Since I'm obsessed with mirrored furniture, it has to be a mirrored vanity!  For sure!  I really like the piece in this first picture.  The size and drawers of this piece is the look I want.

The next piece is just way to "heavy" looking for me.  It is also has a more traditional feel.  Nope, not what I'm looking to do.

Mirror and chrome! Sexy legs! Love.It.  If it were a little larger, it would be perfect.

I know what I want, I just have to find it.  I'm off to search for my vanity!  

Beautiful things make me happy!

I went to the Atlanta Merchandise Mart with a friend as I am helping to decorate a local restaurant. They are wanting comfy and cozy with a modern feel.  The Mart is 2 or 3 buildings and about 5 to 8 floors each (A decorators heaven).  Needless to say, on our one day trip, we only saw 2 floors in one building!  But what I saw was so beautiful.  I really wanted almost everything I laid eyes upon.  Warning...picture heavy! Enjoy :)

Hello gorgeous!  I'll find a place for you :)

I love the funky lights!

Here they are as a trio and notice the silver pendant.  I'll take 2 of those please :)

These gorgeous lights would be great in a Master Bathroom or Master Closet.

Loving the metallic circular mirrors against the dark blue...I want!

Isn't this an awesome beverage cart!

Sorry for the blurry picture but blue velvet and chrome!  Had to :)

Mirrored Desk....Office update

I definitely am "agreeable" to grey :)  The color is so refreshing, clean and crisp.  It is not blue at all.  The different shades of grey throughout the day are all beautiful.  I really can't say enough about not having to repaint this room!

I bought a mirrored desk!!  It did not break the bank....woot woot.  Seriously, I got a great deal! I couldn't believe it. It's the Lusetta Mirrored Desk from Joss and Main.  It arrived a week early!  Hubs didn't know the desk was coming and that I was painting.  He walked in after work and saw it "ready".  Whew, he loved it :)  I'm not going to tell him right now that ALL of the gold walls need to be painted, as I still love being married to him!  

See the pen holder my little peanut made for me.....love my baby!

Yes that is a wine decanter!

I am so inspired sitting in the office now... I may have to write a book! ha ha

Mirrored Desks

Now that I am deep into home office makeover, I'm thinking a new desk would be nice.  I have been crazy, in love, with mirrored furniture for quite some time...and what is better than to have a mirrored desk in the office!  Everything I have seen is expensive and definitely not in my budget.  I love being married to my awesome husband so I must'n shock his system with a pricey piece of furniture that I don't need since we already have a desk  that I need.  I found a few that I like but I am not liking the price :(

Lusetta Mirrored Desk is in the budget if I can buy it quick enough!

This design is so pretty and very french looking...ooh la la :)  However, I think the desk is too traditional for my taste.

I really like the clean lines and pewter accent and of course the gorgeous crystal knobs.  The drawers are a bit too small for my constant clutter.



The search continues......

Dining Room

This space is connected to the foyer and is the second thing you see when you enter the house. 

How it began......

Notice the color on the walls...this was before the bank painted them infant poo GOLD

Even before we moved our old dining room furniture, I knew the furniture wasn't going to "make it" long term.  It did the job, but my decorating wheels were on over drive!!

So sorry for the bad quality of the picture

One day, LB said some of the legs were wobbly and needed to be fixed or replaced.  I think I just heard  angels singing!  I quickly said, your right, they definitely need to be replaced.  (I had already found chairs that I completely fell, head over heels, in love with as well as a buffet!)  I said... in my sweetest, pleeeassseee let me redecorate the dining room voice... honey, I found the chairs I love and you will too but they don't go with our traditional table and buffet. And not to worry because I also found THE buffet that is perfect for this room!  He smirked and said, OK I see where this is going...I guess we are redecorating the Dining Room!  I had my mind set on a certain pedestal table but because I'm not a wait 6-8 weeks kinda girl...I was on mission.  I finally found my table!!  I knew as soon as I saw it. 

4 chairs may be a little crowded???

And let's not forget about the light fixture.....I get giddy looking at it :)   The sunsets in the front of the house so I open the curtains and the entire room looks like diamonds on the walls!

I love this room...between the mirrored buffet, nailhead trim on the chairs, the crystal on the chandelier....I have to stop there because the post will end up inappropriate!
