Get the Look for Less! Round Gold-Gilded Mirror

I totally fell in love with this living space when I saw it in the Feb 2014 issue of Canadian House & Home...


Where do I start??  I love the round gold mirror, the blue velvet sofa, the area rug, the antique chest of drawers, the marble-top table...and, quite frankly, the color palette simply had me at "hello".

I did a little research on the mirror and found it...plus, I found a much more affordable option that was VERY similar.  Drumroll, y'all!  Here they are:

source links: splurge |  save  (plus the rub n buff)

I happen to own the Ikea (a.k.a. "save" frame) myself and have it hung in our entry.  I love the raised lip on this mirror and I can vouch that for the price it's a fabulous find.  It's a bathroom mirror so it has the protective safety film in the case of breakage - an added perk for a home with little ones.

My mirror isn't gold...yet.  I like the stainless steel look it has right now but I love that I will have the option to maybe change it up in the future with just a little tube of Rub 'n Buff.  Just tape off the mirror with some painter's tape and rub away!

Good find, eh?  (That's a little Canadian for you on this wintery day in Boston.)  As always, go forth and save!!

  1. Nice. The table reminded me, I just saw a post that could be used as a 'save' for that too. Marble contact paper on top of a round glass coffee table. The base was different, but hey, beggars can't be choosers when you're tryin' to save a penny. :)
