New thrift mirror and dining room spruce up…

6:15 pm by kim 61 Comments

Hi everyone!
I hope you’re all enjoying the wonderful weather we’re having! Lol
All kidding aside I hope everybody is safe as weather all over the world is a little crazy right now.

The snow has stopped here in Southern Ontario and I’m hunkered down in front of the fire with my laptop.

I was at the Salvation Army this week and found this lovely mirror. I took it out of the garage today and introduced it into the dining room.

I took out my white frame and coffee filter wreath I had in there from Christmas and replaced it with
my thrift find.

 .

I have two armoires in the dining room that I use to house extra plates, platters and dishes that the kitchen doesn’t have room for.
The square basket is a file holder and holds all our files and the round basket is filled with magazines.

My daughter has told me no more plates! She says we don’t have anymore room! Do you think there is a problem?! lol

I gave this wooden frame a wash of white primer, let it dry and gave it a light sanding.

I couldn’t help but add a pic of lavender that I have on top of my armoires. I love lavender.

I took out some of the winter themed accessories and spruced up the room with some lovely dried hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are another love.

I think the mirror picks up on the wood of the dining room table and helps tie the room together.What do you think?

Thanks for dropping by for a visit!

Be blessed!

    I like it! The wood of the mirror frame, the table and the baskets really warm up the blue and white. Comfy space.

    (I've got a give-away going on over at Chestnut Tree Lane if you want to pop over!)

    Oh, I love your new mirror, Kim! It's beautiful!! I love how you gave it a light white wash with primer and sanded it off. Whitewashing is a favorite wood treatment of mine!
    Hope you have a wonderful day!

    Your dining room is so pretty…I love how you put the two armoires together so it looks like one large cabinet and how you put the things across the top just like it was one piece. The mirror and the hydrangeas are beautiful additions to the room…it just beautiful and so fresh looking. I'd love to hang out in that room! You are so full of great ideas!

    I think I would love to transport your dining room and plop it straight down in my house! There are so many elements in this room that I love (for example the twin armoires).
    Enjoy your day.

    I was just about to blog off. Glad I saw your post. Too many plates…what? I don't see a problem. Ha! Your dining space is so gorgeous with all the textures…wicker, hydrangeas and lavender! The wood mirror looks great with the table and other warm tones in the room. xo ~Michelle πŸ™‚

    Can anyone have too many plates?

    That little bit of white wash really makes the mirror blend nicely with everything. I'm a huge fan of hydrangeas also. I would have them everywhere if I could keep them blooming year round. I'm definitely going to dry more this year.

    Love the mirror! But also the cabinets! I have been in search for more storage in my new dining room (old family room) We just don't have enough kitchen storage. I have a few ideas in mind, but nothing seems to be working on the thrifty budget. Anywho, I love your space! Thanks for sharing.
