What size and shape mirror are you looking for?

That is a cute starfish, Tibbrix.
Not sure that dark brown background would work in there, though. It would be the only dark brown in the room.

Not sure what size mirror to go with. My counter top will be 27" long. But I have 9' ceilings so I could go skinny and long. It has been a pain in the arse trying to find a size to go.

Here is a picture of a mirror I really liked. Not sure where to find it, though.

There's a mirror similar to the one you like on 1st Dibs. Pricey.

Be forewarned that the mirror will probably cost you a fortune. Are you at all crafty? Might be better to make one!

A client of mine, who has a beach house on Cape Cod, has the greatest shell mirror in her guest room. I asked her where she got it, but she didn't know because she had a designer do everything. Aargh. wish I could find that mirror.

One more question: is this a kids' bathroom or a main powder room in the house?

These are fun. Vintage. Go with your floor, kind of that old-world look.

Also really like this one; starfish in glass

This mirror is seven feet long, so too long, but the description leads me to believe she can make it in different sizes. Like this for a bathroom, and I'd have it made so that it fits almost entirely in the wall space over the sink.

There's a faux seashell border tile that you could frame a mirror.

Myknobs.com has some ocean themed knobs. Link is to a starfish, but that brand has at least one more design that I saw.

Wow! 22k for a dang mirror! And to think those seashells were free!

This will be a guest bathroom.

I wish I were crafty, but I am not.

Tibbrix. I really like those vintage nautical knobs! But they are from overseas. I don't want to wait for them to ship them. I need them soon. Besides how much are they anyway in USA coinage?

I am considering those starfish under glass they are cool!

Thanks cri. Those are cute, too.

I found some really neat starfish knobs elsewhere, but wondered if they were too big. What do you all think of these?

ah, patience is a virtue! They use Farrow and Ball colors.

Why not email them under "Ask a Question" and ask them how long it would take for them to get to the US.

They can get to the US in a day on a plane, right? No difference than the east coast going to the west coast.

For the mirror, possibly something as simple as a white/ gray/ color of your choice frame with a rope of starfish tangling down the side?

...or, this starfish mirror that I've pinned and just love! Wonder if I'm crafty enough to pull off something that might resemble it.

Seaglass and shells?

(Can you tell I love etsy?)

You know that's a knob, right, the starfish under the glass?

Yes. I need knobs and a mirror

Do you live near the beach. My friend has a place in Galveston and there is a huge store full of be achy stuff. She's purchased several seashell mirrors there that we're quite affordable. We also took one of her mirrors, some rope and hot glue and made a stunning mirror.

One thing I'd suggest is to not overdo a theme. Get just the right touches to make it feel beachy, for example, but don't overwhelm with the theme or it can become a caricature or tacky.

Does your bath have wainscoting? One very simple but very common, and inexpensive, decor here on Cape Cod is to take one or two of those white starfish and place them on the shelf of wainscoting or on a window jam. It's simple but pretty.

No wainscoting. Just paint (BM Wedgewood Gray) For the walls. The room is rather small, too. The only tiling is to be in the tub shower area. So the mirror and the cabinet are the primary decorating focus of the room and where I wanted to spend the most money.

I love that starfish mirror. I am wondering if I could make my own like that. I could try.

The mirror could be 27" to 50" but I need to measure where the light fixture will be coming out on top and that would limit the height. The hole for the electrical fixture is already there. We are going over to the house today to check it out. I can measure to see the max height for the mirror.

Also I selected the Progress Archie two light in chrome pictured here because it reminded me of a coastal theme. It is the fitxture that will go above the mirror.

I live near Willmington, NC. (Our home is being built in Coastal Plains 30 miles inland). So I have access to a lot of beachy things.

Oh I was able to finally purchase the etsy starfish knobs. Must have been a problem at their website. So noone beat me to it.

My family on the Cape doesn't overdo the beach theme either. They have carefully decorated with items from local shops and artists. I think a shell mirror over a small vanity and with those lights will be too busy. Your lights will provide good texture and interest. Or you might frame a plain beveled mirror with your tile, but that could be too much too because of the iridescence.

Pottery Barn has a nice mirror that's 22.5" wide and comes in white and gray. It's available in two heights. I think it has the feel of your lights.

What about these knobs from Etsy? I haven't looked much further; saw these right away on my first search.

Here's another set: blue & white nautical compass design.

These are closer in color to Tribbix's Etsy find (I love those) and made in the USA. Depends upon how many they have on hand to ship to you. Nautical compass design.

I think these might look pretty with a grey-beige cabinet.

Here is a gorgeous knob from Anthropologie.

Pier 1 has some nice coastal type mirrors. Here is one...

zoe52, I love your tile selection. Would you be willing to share the name and source? I'm trying to select tile now and having a difficult time to put it mildly. Thank you.

Love this mirror. Keep in mind that most of the etsy stores can make to order for you.
Making a sea shells or star fish mirror is not difficult. I have used both of these items for projects. I use GE II clear silicone caulk for exterior use as the glue, squirt out a blob of it on a plastic plate, scoop up some of the silicone on a popsicle stick, spread it in a glob on the starfish or shell and stick it to the frame. You have a little time to move it around before it sets up. It dries clear. I have found bags full of starfish of various sizes for cheap, just get a plain wood frame flat mirror and glue them to the frame. Either all around or corners. Mixed media with starfish and shells together works too. Don't have to be crafty to do it.

Good website for lots of coastal ocean related items

I like these knobs.

The SF Gate site has several pages of coastal style knobs and hardware.

I also found a page on that site with coastal style turquoise glass knobs. They might be a nice complement to your shower accents.

Arapaho: The tiles are porcelain from American Olean and they are from the Costa Rei Collection. They are called Pietre Binaca CR80/ The color on here is not true they are more a greyish beige They do have other colors, though. And the price point was awesome for the look. I think I paid under $4 per square foot for them.

Some really nice coastal knobs out there! But I already bought the Epsy starfish under glass already. It is being shipped as we speak.

I think I may go with a simple mirror, too. That plain white one with the starfish on the rope seems so much simpler and light. And the one at Pottery Barn is a good one to do that.

I may just try my hand at some decorative mirrors after I get settled in the new house.

My tiles are being installed this week at the house. Can't wait to see the finished product.

zoe52, have you been to Uptown Market on Market St. in Wilmington? They have tons of mirrors, etc. there. There is also The Ivy Cottage (a personal favorite). I know that they are probably a good hour drive from your new house, but it could be worth it to look at both places. There is also a new er place called Vintage Market on Oleander that has a whole section of more coastal themed decor/vintage/antiques, it's tiny though.

As for the knobs, the starfish that Tibbrix posted and the Anthropologie knobs that aktillery posted are gorgeous.
