A Round Mirror Over The Desk

Simply cannot get sufficient of them these days. I think it is because of all the rectangles and squares that abound (from windows, doors, and beams, to things like beds, cribs, and fireplaces with right angles galore). It is simply pleasant to add some curves to break up the square-fest.

We got this guy at Hobby Lobby on sale (they were offering 50% off all wall hanging items, yesssss) for $65 – down from $130. Not bad for an ornate 30″ oil-rubbed bronze beauty, right?

We know it looks a smidge small for that big expanse of wall (see first pic), but once we hang curtains high and wide on the giant picture window – and scooch the mirror over a bit afterwards – it’ll hopefully be ideal.

Not sure if we will paint it down the line or leave it oil-rubbed bronze. Once we hang curtains we will make a final decision since the room is certainly still in progress and adding in some oil-rubbed bronze curtain rods might be a game changer. Can you handle the suspense? Haha. Although something lively like deep plum might be sweet. Or even white to tie in with the white frames over Karl – especially since this similar mirror (except for the fact that it is $495 and the links are more oblong than circular) is fairly vivid in glossy white.
