Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Here is what the wall of our entry way looked like when we moved in.

I tried decorating it about fifty different ways but was never happy with the way it looked.  

I turned to the web for some inspiration.

The common elements between these entry ways that I liked were 

1. a mirror

2. a lamp

3. flowers

Off I went in search of a mirror.

After browsing the aisles of Target, Ross, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, Goodwill and a random Durham Antique shop I found... NOTHING.

My mom told me to be patient and assured me that I would find something that I liked.  Well, she was right.  I crossed the street and went to HomeGoods where I found... 

  

A simple but pretty mirror.

Next was hanging the mirror.

 I started out with the mirror a bit too high on the wall.  

A few little nail holes later and it was just about right.

I added flowers and lamps and... tah dah!

The lighting is better during the day so I will shoot another picture and post it later.
