I just adore mirrors….any size
and in any shape!
In fact it is no secret that I
probably have
more mirrors in my house
than artwork!
--------------
Remember when Mr. Handyman
made me this trumeau
mirror for above the
mirrored chest?
It turned out beautiful but the color was
just never quite right.
The color blended in with the walls
and always seemed
a little off and it always bothered me.
So, after being inspired by all those beautiful
inspiration photos of wonderful
trumeau mirrors I
decided to give mine a
mini face lift……
with paint of course!
Here is the after:
It was hard to capture the
true colors
and detail since
it is so cold and gloomy here today.

Des did paint your wall too? Love the new color of the mirror. Can you tell me what you know about GFC and do I need to add a linky follower now too?? Confused!
I love your mirror painted. It did blend in with the wall before.
Love trumeaus~and I love that your hubby made this one! IT is fabulous and looks great with the new white paint!
I remember when you originally shared this mirror....I loved it then but I love it even more now. And those books....WOW!

That color shows it off much better, now it looks like the WOW it always was.

I LOVE IT Des!! The new paint color is perfect and love the pretty vignette on your mirrored chest too!
I'm with you on your love of mirrors. Have them all over my house. Yours is simply lovely!!
Thanks for the visit, Mary Alice
Wow, that is a gorgeous mirror, Des! Your hubby made that for you? I love your book stacks, too! They look great with the mirror.
I just love the mirror! And I am following you on Linky now too!

Loved it before, Des - but love it even more now! :)
The new color does help it show off it's pretty details better. My SIL has dozens of mirrors too. I got struck in the head by an armoire mirror once it weighed 70lbs-does that count?
I love it! I have a trumeau mirror in my bedroom that I like. Maybe one day I'll paint it to look more french. I like the lighter color on it that you chose. It stands out more and picks up the light color in the chest too. I love all your old book bundles as well.
These mirrors are wonderful! Your looks great! Happy Valentine's Day!

Wonderful images of mirrors. I love your mirror with the books below it. So creative...
Hi Des!
Thought the before looked good until I saw the after and I can see why you did what you did!
Wow!
Looks great. Nice contrast to the wall. Love it!
Beautiful mirrors all of them, including yours. x Sharon

Oh yea, it's right now...perfect!
Oh my goodness! Would you believe that I just purchased everything to make a trumeau mirror for my home but have been too chicken to start on it??!! After seeing your gorgeous one I'm now going to buck up and give it a go. :-) Your blog is so lovely and I can't wait to see more of your beautiful home. Found you through Kim's party!
