The Perfect Mirror

Thank to my wonderful mother-in-law, I scored The. Perfect. Mirror. for our blank living room wall.

Do you recall seeing this while shopping online?

Z Gallerie: $199

Or this one?

Horchow Cyrus Sunburst Mirror: Was $387, Sale: $249

A Nieman Marcus Version:

Was $650, Sale $496

Drum roll please .........................

Mine was only $99 at Home Goods!

As you can see, I recently put together a shelf behind our sectional (still needs a coat of paint). I propped up a lamp, just to act as a visual, but my plans for the space include flanking the mirror with two lamps (hopefully adding some color) and then adding books, candles, and other accessories to the shelf to balance everything out.

Here are some of my favorite lamp options. Some are in my budget and others are way out of it, but I couldn't help myself.

CSNStores.com: $119

Homedecorators.com: $59

Ivgstores.com: $100

Laylagrace.com: $250

Laylagrace.com: $585 (hate the shade and never pay $585, obviously! the base is pretty though)

Laylagrace.com: $375

Shadesoflight.com: $225

Laylagrace.com: $375

While searching for the beautiful lamps above, I came across this bad boy (pictured below). You might recognize him from the picture of my new purchase above. He makes an appearance in the bottom right corner. Only thing is, I didn't pay the $185 asking price from shadesoflight.com, I didn't even pay $100, or $50, but instead $29 at my local Home Goods!

I think today is going to be a great day:)

Do you have a favorite "lamp look" from above or one you would like to share? I would love to hear your thoughts. I, of course, will not be purchasing any of these lamps online, but instead will start searching my HG for some good deals. It would be nice to go in their with a clear version of what I want and your opinions would really help me out!
