It's a Give-away!!!

Our historic house is big by 1865 pioneer standards; but not so big by 2010 standards.  When we restored the house we totally gutted the bathroom and had this lovely custom vanity (which is kitchen counter height) made for the space.  Our contractor made sure to run the wainscoting high enough to go above the light switches and plugs.  That put our antique mirror a bit higher than we would like.  For the record, I am 5 feet 5 inches tall (not particularly short) and I can see to do my hair but it's hard to get close enough to do a great job on makeup.  Even my husband, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall, has a hard time shaving in that mirror because it's a little far away.  Time to do something about it!

The challenge is to find accessories that fit well in historic homes; ones that don't look completely out of place.  I have just about decided that this freestanding swivel mirror  from Just Vanities.com might be perfect.  We have plenty of counter space on top of the vanity for it.  What do you think?
