We've not decided exactly where this wall will be; I guess wherever we need to bounce around some extra light and where the mirrors can be appreciated.

Style Crush : Vintage Mirrors
One thing I've been dying to do for a while is create a wall of vintage mirrors and I'm finally getting to do it! So far I've bought five assorted vintage bevel edge mirrors from eBay to go with the one I was allowed to take from my late Grandmother's house, and I'm hoping to achieve something akin to the following:

Awesome eBay finds ..... that I can't buy (so you should)
OK, so every week I come across amazeballs pieces on eBay that I just can't buy due to lack of funds or space or both. This is where I'm going to pay tribute to these finds in the hope that someone appreciates them as much as I do and gives them a good home.
#1: 1930's Art Deco Walnut Burr Dressing Table - £85.00 Buy It Now, Birmingham.
Absolutely gorgeous! If I had the room it would be coming home with me!
#2: Art Deco Blue Velvet Curved Sofa - £300 Buy It Now, London
Oh my Lord, do I love this! It's wonderful but it's 100 miles away and I have bought 2 couches in the last 2 weeks so don't think Matt would approve.... :(
#3: Vintage Evertaut Machinist's Workstool - £51 on bids, Ashby-de-la-Zouch
I would love to have this around my dining table! Alas, I can't justify £51+ on a stool right now :( Love touches of industrial chic, though.
#4: Set of 6 Caramel Leather and Chrome Dining Chairs - £25.on bids, Birmingham.
I would have said that these chairs are too modern for my taste but there's something about them that keeps drawing me back. Plus £25 for 6 leather chairs! Crazy! If I had the space, no question, they'd be mine.
#5: Set of 2 Matching Chairs - £40, Whitton
OK, bear with me on this one: I'm imagining them recovered in coral linen or a bright turqouise velvet. See it? So fun! If only they weren't so far away and I knew a good (but cheap) upholsterer. Le sigh.
