The mirror was bigger than I had thought it was, and I wanted to find the perfect spot for it in the house. First, I thought I was not going to use this in our downstairs bath, so I went ahead and painted three other inexpensive mirrors to arrange on that wall. But then, I decided that maybe it would be good in the bathroom. So, I painted the black mirror white, and my patient husband hung it for me. After all that, I wasn't convinced it was in the right spot.
In the meantime, I finally moved the fiddle leaf fig tree from the middle of the room where it served as our Christmas tree, and I realized that the mirror might be a perfect fit for that wall. HOWEVER, the now white mirror doesn't stand out enough against our gray owl walls.
SOOOO...I am contemplating gold leafing the mirror. Have you ever gold leafed? I silver leafed once when I made this for my brother, and I made quite a mess. I guess I am in the mood for gold - I am brainstorming another gold project.
I will update you as the craziness continues.
The mirror in the guest bath. Two mirrors that I adore, but they compete against each other.
In the living room. I like the location...now I have to figure out the right color for the mirror so that it pops.
Who is truly the indecisive one? The mirror, or me? :)
This just makes me realize that I sometimes just need to slow down and think through more options before trying to rush to a conclusion.
