Round Mirror

I am on the hunt for a used or vintage round mirror. Here's my favorite one so far, the only problem being that it would have to be shipped from the UK, making it not so eco-friendly. Otherwise, it's pretty and simple, not to expensive and is 60's vintage teak. It's from H is for Home. Here's a pretty convex one from Sutter Antiques that has no listed price.
This Roger Capron ceramic one from 1968 is also cool from Mary Ann Lembo.Here's a slightly strange bumpy cork one from Avant Garden. I just repainted most of the walls in my kitchen Benjamin Moore's Aura line "Yellowstone" mustard yellow to get rid of the pumpkin-y orange that has been there since summer 2005 (see the shelf wall with other color in photo here). I want something new to hang on the wall here. If I can find a round mirror, it would be hung high above the stove in the empty space for good feng shui purposes. Next stop, ebay....

Very Handsome



blurb from the site about the chair- "With a nod to some mid-century design classics, young Brazilian Sergio Fahrer, has designed this gorgeous chair with eucalyptus and wengue veneer from sustainably managed forests in Brazil. Suave and handsome, we think this is a chair for sipping caipirinhas."

I spotted another one like it in all white in this house shot from Dutch blogger ninaivorm, whose couch I also love. The pillow collage on the couch is pretty fun too!
