Style Sunday: Quatrefoil Mirror

In this previous post, I noted that I'd been obsessed with a round mirror to go over my chest in my bedroom. I usually daydream of something for a week, hence the outlet of weekly Style Sunday posts. Even though I research it, sometimes I don't even actually make the purchase. I don't own a pair of cheetah flats, for example. ...but I actually acquired a mirror.

I did make it to Pier 1 to take a look at that mirror I featured, but they didn't have it in stock. At $179.99, I wouldn't have bought it anyway. It's simply out of my budget. On the way back, I stopped in at my favorite store, HomeGoods and found a mirror. Now, it's not round, but the quatrefoil form I love and that reminds me of Italy. I bought this large quatrefoil mirror for only $29.99! It's about 30 inches across each way.


I actually paid a price like that for one a fourth of its size at Target. It hangs above my jewelry armoire. I remarked to the cashier that it was such an amazing value, and she agreed that all the large mirrors in the store were.

Now, I need to figure out how to hang it! It warns not to hang it on wire, so that's out. It recommends anchors and screws and all. And it's a bit too heavy to hang on a single nail. I am hesitant to ask my dad who hung everything else in my apartment since he recently paid for repairs on my new-to-me car (which turned out to need a thousand dollars worth of repairs) and I owe him that money. Also, it may go in my living room and not in my bedroom as originally intended. I'll figure it out.

I must go to work now, make that money.
