On a recent treasure hunt I found another gold framed mirror. I had no idea where exactly I was going to put it, but for $3 I snapped it up!
I love mirrors, not just as functional necessities, but as home decor pieces as well. A clean, shiny mirror in a room brightens the space, gives the illusion of a larger space and just looks darned pretty!
Take a look at the mirrors throughout my home:
This is the one that I just found. I ended up putting it at the top of the shelf in the dining room. No one is tall enough to see into it, but it serves the functions reflecting light from the window and making the room feel taller and more open. It also reflects candle light nicely ;)
This one is hanging on the opposite wall in the dining room. It is low enough to be used and also provides a feeling of increased light and space.
The entry way. This one is purely functional, I like to make sure everything is in order when I head out the door. Still, I painted out the wooden frame in gold so the piece blends with the overall decor.
In between the living and dining rooms I have this little niche. I turned a mirror on it's side and added a sticker I found at Dollar Tree. I love the way it brightens the space!
Mirrored wall in the closet.
These too are purely functional, you gotta see to get dressed, right? But they still serve to open up and brighten the space. I especially like that here because with all of the colors of clothing things can get a bit busy. The mirrors seem to calm things down a bit.
Still in the closet, I have a large mirror laying flat.
This is a really pretty mirror that Husby found for me a few years ago. I decided to use it as a large 'tray' on the closet island. On top of it I layered another smaller mirror. The little one is intended to go on top of a vanity and was given to me by my sister.
(Look at me starting to figure out how to blur personal photos!)
I liked the way the mirrored wall turned out in the closet so well, that I put one up in the bedroom as well. This room has a really large window and I hung the mirrors directly across from it. I love the way the afternoon sunlight fills the room and then reflects around!
There you have it, another cheap and easy way to decorate on a budget!
