There’s a few favourite websites I like and trademe has to
be one of them. Although some things
that I generally look for are unrealistically priced, if you look hard enough
you can find some really great deals.
Over
a year ago, I was looking for an ornate mirror that could sit on Aaliyah’s
drawer and started “watching” one which was priced for about $150. It was made up of three mirrors which could
tilt/turn in different directions and thought it would be perfect.
Unfortunately I missed the auction and had to start from
scratch again. Fair to say I was pretty
disappointed with myself UNTIL I visited one of my favourite shops on the north
shore of Auckland called JUNK & DISORDERLY.
Low and behold it had exactly the same mirror for less than $100,
although this one had seen better days. “Nothing
my husband can’t fix” I decided and carefully crammed it in the back of the tiny
car to take home.
I was pretty pleased with my purchase as was my husband and
both my daughters. As it turned out, the
mirror didn’t end up going into Aaliyah’s room on her drawer and I’m not sure
whether Jayden claimed it for herself or whether Aaliyah agreed to keep the one
she already had.
The mirror now sits in Jayden’s room on top of a great desk
I got for a bargain on trademe. I
blogged about it in OLD DESK MAKEOVER.
My husband fixed the small issues it had and gave it a beautiful gold
finish. For an added bonus, he whipped up some great lights. What do you think?
After finding this beautiful piece, I've since seen another just like it pop up on trademe every now and again. I've been tempted to buy now
Happy living peeps!
