Wire Capiz Sunburst Wall Mirror from Target

We are officially, thoroughly enjoying Target's Global Bazaar. Just one of the many reasons is this mirror -- rusty, oddly-patina-ed versions of which we spot from time to time in our local flea markets. This is much better.

What makes it better is the use of capiz shells to create a dewdroppy look on the spokes, softening the effect.

Entryway facelift, here we come.

$69.99 at Target.

I'm partial to this mirror which looks much cuter in person: http://www.target.com/Carved-Wood-Wall-Mirror/dp/B000TVN49E/qid=1200428569/ref=br_1_8/602-2794458-1358202?ie=UTF8&node=393658011&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1

Although, overall I don't like this collection quite as much. The colors tend to be less crazy. Greens, yellows, grays. That china blue stuff doesn't count.

Still swear by the carved wood picture frames. And the Brooklyn store set the capiz pendant lights up as a lit display. Great touch!

Though it is not unusual to pick up mirrors with various shapes, traditionally, mirrors have been associated some basic shapes. An added advantage to this small decorative mirror have is that shape can blend well with any type of décor. Thanks for the post!!!
