Antique Mirror
So I tweeted last week that I was on the hunt for a full-length mirror -- I got several recommendations and was nearly persuaded to go for the ikea hovet when I stumbled across this beauty. There is an amazing antique shop right near our apartment and as we were browsing last week I ran across this barn-wood mirror that was perfect. It was a splurge but definitely worth it!

Amazing! You'll never regret splurging on this!
There's just something about repurposed barn wood that makes me swoon. What a great find!
LOVE! great find.
now that is one killer mirror. what luck! and it looks fabulous in your new place. i'm terribly jealous.
I love it! It looks great in you space!
mirrors are totally worth the splurge, and this one in particular. lovely find.
That is fantastic! I love the barn wood against the wood floors and clean white walls.
Gorgeous!! I feel like antique furniture and home accessories are definitely worth the splurge!

Oh, that is stunning... and so versatile. Best thing about a large mirror is that it can go anywhere. I like them propped longways atop a buffet table, or in an entry. Maybe a splurge now, but you'll always have a place for it.
oh my gosh! is that at the upper rust? it looks like it. i live in the city and i absolutely adore that place. i blogged about it here: http://nightfallsandtownsbecomecircuitboards.blogspot.com/2009/08/upper-rust.html
and even if it's not..you should check the place out..its in alphabet city so not too far from your new place!
ps i love your blog and your photography!
yes! it is the upper rust! love that place :) great write up ... i will be frequenting that shop!
love! so jealous — I've been on the hunt for a full-length for years. still haven't found a vintage one that's a price I can swallow. you inspire me to stay on the hunt.
she's a beaut! congratulations!
I LOVE that shop! I used to live nearby and would drool over everything. They have the best wooden boxes and metal baskets. Super pricey, but ohhh so nice. Also, I think you live right by it, but have you been in Obscura Antiques on 10th & A? Crazy weird awesome stuff.
It is beautiful! Great find and you deserved a splurge in my opinion.
What a great find!
That's an amazing find! The barn wood is perfect.
Don't you love when that happens?

oh gorgeous! i am on the hunt myself, and that one is just like what i'm looking for.
