Fact: Taking a photo of a mirror… without being in said mirror or photo, no easy task.
But I have a hardcore-decor crush on this bar, so it’s all good. Definitely worth the awkwardness of sprawling on our dining room table like a Thanksgiving roast beast to get the shot. I mean, look at those lines and curves… it even has little gold slippers.
The Hunt: Our furniture is a *complete* mishmash of new and old, restored retro and thrift. So, when trying to find a bar to match the wood / stain of our dining room table… amidst quarantine and online shopping, heartburn was setting in.
Tip: By selecting a textured piece (in this case, rattan) versus the same smooth finish of existing furniture, you don’t have to be spot-on with color, stain or grain. Get in the same ballpark with regards to hue and warmth… and swipe right. So happy with this match made in tiki heaven.
Shout-out to the team at Crate & Barrel. The delivery process was dreamy quick, arrived in 1-week… and the crew unpackaged and placed it in-home right where you see it in this pic. All mask-tastic and clean like. Saluti!
