Mirror, Mirror

Admit it, you have a long-term relationship with mirrors. Some might call you vain, but over the years you have acquired a collection of mirrors that suit your practical and aesthetic needs—reasonable or unreasonable— just fine. Who can blame you? After all, when was the last time you were in a home without a mirror? From the imperfection highlighting bathroom mirror to the grandiose, carved wooden mirror that hangs above your fireplace, you have mirrors, sparkling, shiny and strategically placed throughout your abode. The more mirrors you have, the more mirrors you want.

Mirrors brighten a room with natural light, create the illusion of space, hang like art and improve a home’s Feng Shui, so you enter uncharted territory to find the mirror you have never owned before--the perfect outdoor patio mirror. Instead of going from store to store, you surf online to find the design and price range you are willing to pay and your search ends with Colorado-based, Lafuente.com, a company that imports beautiful and uniquely original tin mirror frames hand made by artisan families in central Mexico.

Lafuente.com has many styles and designs that work either indoors or out to create an artsy, warm, Southwestern feel. They also offer hand-loomed Zapotec rugs, Mayan hammocks, hand-painted ceramic plates, folk art and other unique gift items with authentic Mexican beauty.

Once you find your new mirror, you will be happy for a while. So now, ask yourself this, can you ever have too many mirrors? We think not. And if you catch us passing by one, stealing a glance, trust us. We simply can’t help it.
