Today I am sad to report that we have experienced our first design casualty: the dining room mirror. It showed up to my apartment last week with a nice crack down the right side. At first I was devastated, however, upon further inspection it turns out the gilded gold is actually a splotchy yellow/brown so it would have been returned anyway. Online interior design can be extremely challenging and this is the perfect example of what you see isn't necessarily what you get.
This hiccup is going to change the entire vibe of our dining room. All things happen for a reason and since we scrapped the mirror, chose industrial pendants in the kitchen and verified that the original dining chandelier is out of our price point, it's back to the drawing board. We will keep the same color palette but make the space more relaxed and casual. This is why they call them "inspiration" rather than "reality" boards, right?
