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.
