Mirror, Mirror

I almost died when I saw this mirror at Anthropologie this afternoon. It's so funky and unique that I wanted it to be mine right there on the spot. In fact, I can think of at least three great places to hang it in my apartment right now. The only thing that's stopping me? Oh, just the $400+ price tag. I know. Insane. I'm planning on spending the weekend dreaming up ways to recreate it with my own little DIY. I'm more than open to suggestions!

I'd also like to point out that this is something that would fit in perfectly at my parents' house, which makes me feel like waving a little white surrender flag around. When I was growing up, I always thought my parents had the weirdest taste in antiques and old junk. Now, I've really grown to appreciate their sense of style and some of it may have rubbed off on me just a little. Ok, mom, you win again.

Furniture Hunting

I've been looking for a coffee table for ages and can't seem to find one that I like that's reasonably price. I've decided to move on to the next item on my furniture wish-list: a desk. My favorite styles are sleek, simple, and spacious. I don't need a lot of drawers for junk, but I like a large surface so I can spread out magazines, my laptop, and flowers. I find that the cleaner my workspace, the more I can get accomplished. These Parsons desks from West Elm are my absolute favorite. I love the yellow one, even though it doesn't really fit my color scheme. It's so cheerful! The price is right, compared to some other furniture sites I've been browsing.
