Arched Mirror for the Dining Room

Before I had a gold frame mirror here, which has been in the dining room for several years.  I just didn’t like the brighter gold in here.  After trying several paint colors on the mirror and after seeing this mirror from Kirkland’s, I gave up on it.

I saw the mirror in a recent post of a bedroom where two of these mirrors were used.  I just loved them!  Unfortunately, I didn’t pin it so I could share it with you!

It’s very heavy and well made.  It measures 48” in height and makes quite a statement!

It’s from Kirkland’s and is called the Sadie mirror.  It’s one of their higher price mirrors but there are always coupons and discounts.  I knew that even if I changed my mind about using it in here, there were plenty of other places around our home where I could envision it!

Small Foyer Changes

The foyer in our home is very small and it can be challenging to decorate.  Before there was a small 3 drawer chest. 

 

 

Once the walls were painted a very light gray, I didn’t like the chest, so I painted it.  Since I still didn’t like it, I started watching for a piece at the auction that I could use in this area.

I found the perfect size piece, a small sideboard!

It now holds the punch bowls!

The silver tray was also purchased at an auction and the blue/white pieces are all garage sale finds!  The taller legs on the sideboard give the small area a more open feel.

New Chandy for the Dining Room

Isn’t she pretty?!?  She’s got bling but the white silk shade tones it down a little.

 

traditional yet with a touch of modern chandelier

 

To me, she’s vintage yet modern.

I know it looks off centered of the table but it’s not.  The angle of the picture makes it look that way.

I purchased it from Overstock.com  For this size table, I needed a 20” light fixture but this one is 18”.  The shade makes the fixture appear bigger.
