In my last post, as you know, I was dreaming about this fabulous mirror from Pottery Barn & wondering had anybody seen something like this available here in Australia
or
would I have to go to the expense of having it sent out from the US, if I really really wanted it in my dream home.
Well, the wonderful land of blogging truly is a valuable resource & the very helpful & ultra stylish Melinda from
Melinda is mid way thru a major renovation of her own home & I really love her style. She has some really great ideas & always gives me lots of inspiration.
She is also a super sleuth when it comes to researching & finding just the right decorator items to get the finish she is after.
If you haven't seen her lovely blog you really should pop over & take a peek!!!
Any way Melinda found a similar mirror at
for a mere $59.
Now I am fortunate enough that Recollections have a Newcastle store which is only a 40 minute drive from my home so I will be able to go check this baby out in person. What a great excuse for a little shopping trip.
I don't know about you but I am always a little fearful of ordering something online....will it look as good in real life as it does in the image.

These are my ensuite inspiration images, the second one is my all time favourite & is from a movie scene, I just don't recall which movie!
Now the dream house plans are still slowly progressing thru the council building approval department, we had to give them some more information this week, so at least we know our plans are actually being looked at.
Unfortunately we still haven't managed to sell our old house, we have four interested buyers, the only hic cup being that they have to sell their own homes first & the market seems to be at a stand still in Lithgow...
Oh the frustration!!
Mind you there is lots that we can still do leading up to building the actual house. We still need to build a fence down one side & across the front, we have some more retaining walls to go in & we can also continue on with concreting the drive way. When I say "we" I really mean the dream guy, he he he!!
So fingers crossed for council approval on our development application, a house sale in the Blue Mountains.
In the meantime I think I need to take a little trip to Recollections to investigate some mirrors!!
Have a fantastic week everyone & thank you for all of your lovely comments & wonderful, I really do love & appreciate every one of them.
Do you love seeing new comments on your latest post?
I am a little like a small child getting a letter in the post, I can't wait to see what it says!!!
CHEERS
