Venetian Mirrors.....Gotta Love Em!!!!!

Connie and I wanted the feel of her bedroom to flow into her bathroom.

As I had shown you, we had hung a Venetian mirror over her dressing table.

She purchased it from Restoration hardware, which has a nice selection from which to choose.

Those guys should be paying me for all the advertising I'm doing for them.....

I had found the little ballroom chair on 1st Dibs.

It was part of a set of 4.

They had really pretty detailing.

They had really delicate legs, just like Connie's!!!!!

Even the back was pretty.....

JUST LIKE CONNIE!!!!!

Well we didn't need 4.

At first I thought we only needed 1, but as it turned out, 

i was wrong!!!!!

We needed one for her bathroom too.

Soooooo.....

the nice man from 1st Dibs was willing to break up the set into two pairs.

But first I had to find a mirror.

Below is another pretty one that is available from Restoration Hardware.

Connie had her handy man hang it over the sink,

 SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO!!!

The old light had been one of those horrible bathroom lights hanging over the sheet mirror that was hanging over the sink.

What is it with builders and these big plain sheets of mirror.

AND THEN THEY GO AND HANG A STRIP LIGHT WITH BARE BULBS OVER IT!!!!!

NOT PRETTY!!!!!

So, Connie replaced it with a pair of sconces with plain shades....

tres chic!!

Of course I had to change the cabinet knobs to something more appropriate for this new look.

I found some crystal ones on eBay,

Well, at this point Connie was whining requesting that I find something to hang on the walls that would work with the big beautiful mirror.

I had remembered seeing some mirrored famed botanicals on Ballard Design's website.

Connie couldn't believe how clever I was to have found them.

I couldn't believe it either!!!!!

She purchased 4, two to go alongside the large mirror, and two for over the toilet.

I don't really know the reason for the ones over the toilet.

Only women use this bathroom, so no one is standing and staring at the wall.

(These are just some musings of mine when I have nothing else to think about....)

Then we placed the other little chair at the bathroom vanity.....

and the room was done.

At least for now....

I want to add a valence for over the window.

But that's for next fall when the Florida "season" begins.

On that note,
