So this little wall next to our front door just screams for a mirror. I tried to fight it, but nothing else has ever looked quite right there. I've been trolling thrift stores for months looking for something the right size, and finally found this one at Goodwill, painted shabby chic white (barf). I wasn't immediately enamored with the frame itself, even knowing that it could be painted, but the shape and size were great (as was the $10 pricetag), so I bit the bullet.
Once again, I forgot to take a "Before" pic, but heeeeere's the "After":
It's a little hard to tell from my high-quality photos, but the color is a brownish charcoal - Rustoleum Anodized Bronze, to be exact. (The windows and doors are black, and I thought it might be a bit much if the mirror was too.) I am absolutely OBSESSED with the sconces! They totally make me giggle, especially with the droopy candles (look closely at the last pic). My brother made the sweeeet console table - it holds our keys, and all the random junk that seems to accumulate as soon as you walk in.
Isn't it funny how sometimes the smallest changes in your home make you inordinately happy?
