Syroco Score: Federal Mirror

Posted on September 18, 2012

Speaking of mirrors, ten days ago I won a Syroco Federal Mirror on eBay and over the weekend, it arrived on my doorstep in all of its vintage glory:

The mirror is made from a plastic mold but the color and details make it look like carved wood:

When I was bidding on the mirror, I was planning on spray painting it gold as soon as it arrived but I changed my mind after I opened the box. I love the wooden look and the tiny gold details on the raised circles:

Sidenote: I just noticed that green paint on the right under the gold circle. Normally something like that would bother me but since it's a vintage mirror, I think it adds character! I think...

And the Eagle at the top:

If you couldn't tell from the photos above, I hung the mirror in the center of the navy wall in our loft:

And can't wait to surround it with more mirrors!

Have you scored anything awesome on eBay lately?

Oh lordy, I can't let D see this. He's still cranky with me that I didn't pull the trigger on a huge silver eagle that he wanted to put on the ROOF.

I'd have to say that my last ebay score was our pineapple door knocker a few months back. I love the mirror by the way!

Amy - Hahaha can you even imagine telling people "Uh, yeah, just look for the house with the silver Eagle on the roof..."?

Thanks Crystal! I always forget about eBay when I'm looking for decor items but your pineapple door knocker and my mirror have me searching the site more often :)
