A few months ago I wrote about the afternoon that my daughter-in-law Josie and I spent at the Big Flea in January.\u00a0 When we were there, Josie spotted an antique mirror that had once hung in a dress shop for ladies.\u00a0 We both felt the mirror was way too expensive.\u00a0 We had a nice chat with the vendors, but they weren’t willing to negotiate on the price.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then in March I attended the annual Bluegrass Trust Antique show here in Lexington and saw a mirror that looked just like the one we saw at the Big Flea near DC.\u00a0 I mentioned to the vendor that my daughter-in-law had fallen for a mirror just like that.\u00a0 He asked me where we had seen the mirror, and I told him at the Big Flea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He laughed and said it was the same mirror and was reduced by a few hundred dollars.\u00a0 After hyperventilating, I phoned Josie and told her about the mirror and that it was reduced by a few hundred dollars.\u00a0 We talked about it a little bit, and she talked to the vendor, and then she bought it.\u00a0 I was so excited for her.<\/p>\n

Josie’s plan all along was to replace a small, plain mirror in the powder room with an old mirror.\u00a0 I visited Josie and Cory a few weeks ago, and the mirror was hung and looking right at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It looks so great with the new construction.\u00a0 Now let’s look at the rest of the tiny powder room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The towel is a linen napkin that is part of a set she bought in NYC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love these silhouettes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

They would be easy to make using this method<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you look closely, you can see my reflection while taking the photo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love that she gathered some old bottles in a special way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She has a thing for old handkerchiefs.\u00a0 These belonged to her grandmother.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josie's<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This powder room is proof that adding vintage touches to new construction can really add character and personality to a room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
