starburst mirror.


Ah yes, the starburst mirror.  It seems like owning a starburst something (mirror, clock, whatever) is a requirement of owning a mid-century house.  And I'm okay with that.

I've been on the hunt for a good starburst for a while now.  Pretty much since we bought the house - so over a year.  I disliked everything we found in our price range and refused to spend hundreds of dollars on one.

And then this came around.  I saw it on some random blog on Tuesday.  I saw it again Wednesday on Retro Ranch Revamp's blog.  I held strong.  We have some big projects in mind and I didn't want to spend our house budget on decorative items.  By Friday I caved.  It only cost $35!  And I love it!  And I have no willpower.  

If you're interested in it, you can get all the details here.  It's the Wales Circle Mirror from the Martha Stewart Living Collection at Home Depot.
