Aidan Gray Laura Mirror Featured in Real Simple Magazine

The new July issue of Real Simple Magazine features a "Personal Shopper" for Mirrors in their Home "The Guide" editorial. They include mirrors within the "Under $200", "$200 to $500" and "$500 and up" budgets. There are some wonderful options included from lines we carry including Global Views and Arteriors.

One of our favorite mirrors currently in the store is the Laura Mirror (above) from Aidan Gray which is included in the "Under $200" listing. They describe the mirror as a "medieval relic". At 30" the weathered frame and the antiqued glass fit into many decor styles and at $198, it's a terrific find!

Here's a beautiful Aidan Gray shot (above) incorporating the mirror along with many of their other accessories, including the Dana Lamp shown above and below.


We put a pair of the Dana lamps atop this beautiful stained media center from David Lee Furniture. They are a great contrast to the wood stain and really give the piece a new feel. At 21", these lamps could work bedside, in an entry or on a small console ($245.)

Aidan Gray is a wonderful line full of items that add a warmth to interiors through their antiqued finishes, reclaimed woods and European inspired designs. Take a look at all they have to offer. We're happy to special order anything you see that we don't currently have in stock.

A Brief, But Colorful Visit . . .

Early last week we received a terrific shipment of unframed giclee prints on canvas. Before we knew it, someone had snatched up this guy and we hadn't had a chance to include him in our "What's New In Our Nest" slideshow for May. The customer who purchased the print is taking "him" to her farm house where I imagine he'll be right at home!

We were excited to show him off and we've already ordered another one for the store, but we thought we'd share him in the meantime. The title of the print is called "Lost In Emotion" ($285, 36x36). We look forward to receiving a new one soon!
