apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Call me cynical but do you really think these mirrors were recycled from Thai fishing boats? I always wonder about the frames one sees also in these hues. Don't get me wrong, I love the asthetic but these always have the same pallette. I've not been to Thailand but are there no red or yellow fishing boats? It's the same way I wonder about those bags that are supposed to be made out of recyled sails. C'mon. And "baby carrots". Aren't those just tumbled carrot pieces marketed to be more appealing? I'm just sayin'...

I like the mirror, but I work in a marina, and old wood boats often don't have the sturdiest of material... lot's of dry rot and other weather-related problems.

Also, the "romantic" idea of living aboard a boat is as romantic as permanantly camping on the water. Cold, damp, and you have to go up the dock to take a shower. Ick.

I love this mirror. I have to ask, who the hell are the "we" you all are always referring to? Seriously, are you one half of a co-dependent couple ("two souls one thought") who can't think for themselves, or are you all in a cult together where your leader tells you your every thought? This is another pet-peeve example where the AT "we" HAS TO GO! I'm begging you. I'm not trying to be a hater, I love AT, but the we thing just makes my skin crawl. Editors, please, kill the we.

Marine paint is often (perhaps usually) lead-based, so this is probably not a good idea.
