Flea Markets & More Mirrors...

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I went flea-merketing today with SH (one of my bff's) and found nary an oversized mirror. It made me sad, but inspired me to share more images of what I am looking for. And I don't want to hear that I can only have one of these if I spend $5000 or more! I actually found one on Craigslist a few weeks ago for $450, but by the time I called about it, it was gone. 
Keep your eyes and ears open for me, people!
And, remarkably, I found a bench that looked like this today on my flea-spree but it had really ugly fabric on it. It was $250. and would look FAB with a zebra hide in lieu of said fabric. I may have to go back and get it.

Look how gorgeous!!

Even though I didn't discover the type of mirror I'm coveting, I found lots of other goodies. I collect all kinds of furnishings and art...my biggest weakness is chairs (especially pairs of them)...and I use them in client projects or my own home. I am very careful not to over-spend, because every piece I purchase usually requires tweaking. That can add up fast. Did I mention I'm pretty cost conscious?? Anyway, I'll show you pics of my finds every now and then, and you can let me know your thoughts!

For example, I found these at Goodwill. No lie. $25 for the pair!! I haven't figured out what to do with them yet, but I can assure you they will be lacquered and reupholstered. The options are endless, and I need some time to wrap my brain around my ideas. Any suggestions?...
