Starburst Mirrors

They are everywhere!! Starburst mirrors is what I am referring to. I'm sure you have seen one, or two, or three recently used in a room you have been admiring. I'm going to help you out and make your dream of owning one a reality. Yes, you can afford one of these popular style mirrors. I have found them all over. I might or might not have 3 starburst mirrors in my own home. You will have to wait and see though until I have my home tour. Here is the low done:

Devon Mirror $199 at Z Gallerie

Bellesol Concave Sunburst Mirror at Ballard Designs $29-$119

Oversized Wood Sunburst Mirror $349 at Ballard Designs

Suzanne Kasler Mirror #4 $99 at Ballard Designs

Williams Sonoma Home Mirror $225

Framed Antique Gold Mirror $260.99 on Overstock

Horchow Mirror $495

Yes, I know the Horchow mirror would be a HUGE splurge, but I just want you to be educated on what's out there in case you have an extra $500 to spend. Thinking about all the others, which one would you want in your home and where would you put it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

DIY Wall Art

Have you seen wall art that you admired and thought you could duplicate inexpensively? I have and I did. I saw a poster and wanted it in different colors for my bathroom. I used Word to type up my poster and I printed it on card stock. Then, I bought a frame for $8 at TJ Maxx and framed her up nicely. Here's how it looks and for under $8.50!
