The other day I told you about an estate sale I went to last week where I found a few things. There had also been a mirror, well, two mirrors, that caught my eye. Both were round and one was more ornate than the other. I was drawn more to the ornate one, but I was not looking to spend $65.00 for it.
The second day of the sale, I went back. I had been thinking about the mirror for most of the night and how it would look in our dining area. I figured that if it was still there and they dropped the price, I would get it.
It was and they did! I wound up getting the mirror for $40.00. I removed the three mirrors I had put up here originally and hung my new beauty. I had to spackle some holes from the other mirrors {which you can see here}, but I love how it looks on this wall.
The rabbit prints will be coming down, but I will wait until I have the replacement item that will be taking their place. A close up of the details that I loved so much.
This is how the area looked previously with the trio of mirrors. This is from last Fall.
I had thought I might paint this new one, but I’m kind of liking the gold. I think I will live with it this way for awhile before I make any decision on that.
