Our HD and Lowes actually have a pretty good selection...

Have you tried Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx and Home Goods?

Pier One Imports--love their mirrors!
I got a nice one at Lowes for one of my bathrooms, and for the other bathroom I found one at Pier One.

Also, you can check the BSI website, which has a list of dealers. None are in Washington State. Other dealer that specialize in mail order tropicals may also carry a few species. Here is a link that might be useful: BSI website

Scarleta- I've had a lot of trouble with aphids in my lighted shelves indoors where I start seedlings. It's all because I foolishly brought some plants back in from outside. Those aphids really get around. Is there some time you can have the greenhouse empty to get rid of them and then never bring any plant inside that has been sitting outside to reinfest them? Perhaps it's harder with a greenhouse since it's outdoors and perhaps the aphids can find ways to get in. There must be some way to control them like Safer's Insecticidal soap or Neem. I also tried soapy water without much success and damaged a few seedlings. Have you tried the real heat-lovers in your greenhouse like okra, watermelons, and cantaloupes? It's not hot enough here to grow them in the ground. You might find lots of good ideas on the greenhouse and structures forum, /strucs. Here is a link discussing peppers. I don't have greenhouse experience to help you. Is yours heated in winter? Do you use it to start seedlings for outdoors, and make cuttings in winter? That's what I do with my lighted shelves but I don't have sufficient light or space to grow tomatoes or peppers to fruiting stage in winter, which would be nice. My peppers don't do well in our cold soil so I have them and eggplants in pots on my deck and they are fruiting and have no signs of aphids.

Thanks for all the advice. sue_b I really like that sort of "leafy" one. I'm going to check that one and some of the others on that website out. I don't know what we are doing under the cooktop, whether we are doing two pulls or knobs or what. I probably won't be opening those cabinets a lot since that's where the pans are stored and you don't need pans to microwave take-out which is the extent of my culinary talents! Thanks for the pics lavender- I'll be killing even more time checking all these out! fori- I like the faux key w/ white tassle idea a lot but DF just may not be into white tassels :) mtnrdredux I agree about doing different hardware on the island and the china cabinet- I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be too busy. anenemity, I am going to do some crystal knobs for sure! I may do those on the china cabs or the glass uppers or the small drawers. I haven't quite decided yet on where they should go, but they will be there!! The reason I am thinking about the wood was because we have so much going on in the kitchen I wanted something a little plainer and I also want these to look more like furniture, and a lot of the antique armoires had the wood finished knobs. We will try to find a store near us too in order to see some things in person!

yup, mirrors had us stymied too. we got 2 rectangle tilt mirrors for the master, 24-36, they are by gatco, but i can;t for the life of me remember which online store we bought them from. perhaps CSN? They were ~$110 each I think.

we are actually still looking for one for the guest bath - we like one at pottery barn, except the price...

I'm looking for the same thing.

I found 24x36's tonight at Ole Time Pottery for $50.

Something else I'm considering - going to Hobby Lobby and buying an open back frame when they are 50% off, and have a local glass contractor cut me a mirror. I buy my glass from him when I frame pictures, and he is MUCH cheaper.

I also looked at the Pottery tonight for pictures where I could remove the photo and just use the frame.

I found our hallway mirror at JC Penney's on sale last year around Christmas for $80. It's 3'6" X 4'6".

I got these at Lowe's in the spring . . . maybe you could have them check their catalogs. I think they're about the size you mentioned and cost around $70 but am not sure . . . I did a whirlwind mirror purchasing trip and bought these and 4 others at HD and Lowe's -- couldn't believe I found what I wanted for not-so-many $$.

have you tried West Elm? I'm not sure how much you want to spend, but i found some nice mirror on-line there today. They weren't too pricey. one thing i didn't consider until the other day. We are building a house and our cabinet maker is making the vanities. We were searching for mirrors and he suggested why doesn't he just make a framed mirror to match the vanity for us? Just an idea... If you go on the lighting website, (csn, lighting universe, etc.) I have seen mirrors on their sites or their sister sites..
Good luck!
