Look for Less: Quatrefoil Mirror

First off, I'd like to apologize for taking such a long hiatus. My life has been on a sort of transition the past weeks as I started a new full-time job and am designing another home on top of the new build I've been working on. It's been CAH-RAY-ZEE to say the least. But, I'm back with a goal to continue to write, but it may be only a few times a week. Thanks for being so patient with me!


As I was sourcing bathroom mirrors for one of my projects, I came across a quatrefoil mirror that took my breath away.  I've always been a huge fan of quatrefoils. In college we had an assignment to design a fabric and mine was a fretwork pattern made up of the classic Italian shape.


Unfortunately, the original mirror we liked for my client's room was a bit out of our price range so we both set out to look for a "look for less."

Ironies's Araby Mirror Cost: $3,000+


Cooper Classics' Kristen Mirror Cost: $500+

Check out the great find my client found at Lowes of all places!

Lowe's Allen+Roth Mirror Cost: $65!!

Obviously the Lowe's version is lesser quality than the other two, but the Lowe's one has rave reviews.  They say you can't even tell once it's mounted on the wall that it's made of hallow plastic, not wood or metal.  Hey, if it saves $3K, I'm all for it!
