A few weeks ago when we were in NYC, Gretchen and I came upon an antique mirror that Gretchen insisted we buy because it was a great price, it had a bow and it was a really neat shape. We figured one of us could find a place for it! The funny thing is that we found it early on in our trip, so we lugged it around everywhere we went in the city!
The mirror has a lot of knicks and scratches but I tend to think they add to it's charm. Plus, it still has it's old glass!

I like it! - and the spot you found for it. We have an antique mirror on which the silvering had degraded. We were dating and each of us wanted to own it. I was kindly allowed the purchase and, of course, now we both own it. We've left it as is too.
I'm sensing a trend... your friends find great deals and then they all end up at your house...interesting
Kathleen- That made me laugh out loud! I am enjoying that table....
I love your new find!
Another great detail for your gorgeous home!
I can't imagine getting rid of the foxing!The past makes life more interesting.
When I was growing up, I would often stare at the mirror of the dresser that my mother had refinished for me; it has dots in the corner that look just like a beautiful mouse from the Tailor of Gloucester.
Kate- I'm so happy to now know what foxing is and your right the past does add a certain something to life doesn't it!
