Several followers requested that I do more posts on deals on Chinoiserie items. One Kings Lane has many great Chinoiserie mirrors on sale right now. Here is a sampling. A Chinoiserie mirror is a wonderful choice for an entryway, dining room, or powder room.

wisteria's white faux bois mirror
$349

i have been waiting for someone to come out with an affordable faux bois mirror for-ever!
thank you wisteria!
happy monday!

a few more affordable goodies that i spotted recently:

if you are the only person in america who doesn't have a round mirror in their house, 
now just might be the time to get one!

this glass becca mirror is ridiculously cheap right now...i'm talking under $30 folks.


another great mirror---nearly 4' in diameter, and under $70. that's a lot of bang for your buck!


the jackson mirror is another bargain at just under $50.


anytime i find a good looking mercury glass lamp for under $100, i get excited. this one has such a great shape and is $69.


i'm kinda in love with the color and shape of this dijon ceramic lamp. aren't those little handles cute? only $70...


this grey nailhead x-bench looks WAY more expensive than it's $311 price tag. it is also available in blue and purple.


i thought this $85 golden rings table was whimsical. it would look great perched beside a tailored chair.


although i am not a huge fan of the wood stain on this $229 console, i think it would look a-mazing painted in a glossy white or a charcoal grey. the details are really great--especially the round detail around the ring pull hardware.

how cute is this little ottoman? it would look darling in a little girls room, paired with fuchsia or coral.

happy shopping friends!!

(house update: we are in the process of getting the permits secured, and finalizing plans and working on engineering, which is going to take anywhere from 8-14 days. after that, we will be able to break ground!)
if you haven't filled out my survey, click here! i will be posting results tomorrow.

after i spray painted it white, i hung it on the wall, and it felt a little too....stark. the white was SO crisp and bright that it almost looked blue.


so i decied to paint over it with this ivory colored spray paint.
this really warmed it up. it still appears white... a nice, soft white.


you can see the difference between the two paint colors here. it's subtle, but just the shift in tone i was looking for.


here is the mirror, hanging in my living room!
i will share some additional pictures of this space in the next few days...

i think the mirror would look a lot better agasint a darker wall, like in the above photo. the contrast would help the mirror to stand out a bit more and look a little it more modern.  ni house #6, i will for sure hang the mirror in a room with some dark walls for maximum contrast and drama.
