Gilt Mirror goes WHITE

I've had this mirror in my garage for years, hanging there in all its gold glory... but I just couldn't find the right place in my house for it. Today I decided it was time to come out! A new coat of "Arctic White" paint and it's got a whole new lease on life. And since I'm in a dining room kind of mood...there she hangs :) All swirly and gorgeous on my robin's egg blue wall. Perfect.



Ok...so definitely a little cheesy with me in the picture...but I kind of liked the pop of colour!





ps...this little beauty was another thrift shop find...$3! sweeet!
