Just when I thought I’d exhausted my unabashed love for HomeGoods, I realized that every mirror we own is from there! Granted, we only have three mirrors to our name, but considering that each mirror acts as a focal point, I’d say it’s pretty sweet that we were able to score them at such low prices.
We posted about the first mirror here. It sits above our fireplace and, after a bit of TLC, adds a burst of color to our living room. The best news—it only cost $25!
The second mirror lives in our bathroom. We wanted an espresso mirror to tie in with our espresso vanity. We wanted something proportional to our vanity, which meant it would be fairly large. But since there is no natural light in our bathroom—and since we want to make the most of our one and only bathroom—a large mirror would make the space feel lighter and roomier. After browsing a million mirrors online, I was feeling like we might never find the right one. We even checked with Lowe’s and Home Depot, only to be disappointed by the limited options that all looked pretty standard. Not to mention the fact that they seemed a bit pricey to us. And as always seems to be the case, just when we were ready to give up, we eyed this beauty lingering in the aisle of HomeGoods—for just $60.
For such a large mirror that met all of our desires, we were ecstatic. Plus, the frame has a really cool texture, which sets it apart from all the other ho-hum mirrors out there.
Lastly, I’d been looking for something to define the space between my dresser and one of our bedroom windows. I hadn’t enjoyed the luxury of a full length mirror since my college days when I shared a tiny apartment with three other girls (good memories of crowding in front of the mirror hooked to the bathroom closet door), I was excited that it might be an option. Because our bedroom isn’t very large, we knew a mirror would open up the space. I loved this one at West Elm, but it definitely didn’t fit our budget.
Still, I realized that a floor mirror—one that sits on the floor and leans against the wall—would be a great option for our bedroom. Once again, good old HG came into play. My mom and sisters were visiting, and they ended up buying it for us as a housewarming gift. This mirror really brings distinction to our bedroom, and we like how it ties in with our oil-rubbed curtain rods.
And there you have it! What have been your best HomeGoods finds?
Awww...I feel honored that I was mentioned in your post:) Oh yes, the mirror we all wanted to use! I have this great memory of you standing in front of the mirror saying "Hi, lets have...." I'll let you finish the rest. What ever happened to our quote book?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the mirrors! I will have to start checking out HomeGoods more often.
