Decorative Touches for Mirrors
Mirrors are a favorite here at StoneGable. Their beautiful reflective quality, the way they throw light and take up space while enlarging it is so attractive to me.
They also look fabulous when decorated with a little embellishment. (And I AM the embellishment queen!)
I tucked this pinkish berry garland around the mirror last fall and enjoyed it so much there that it has stayed.
The mirror is in my "Bohemian" downstairs bathroom. I LOVE this wallpaper, and will probably never remove it. The walls are decorated with a collection of hand painted vintage trays and other hand painted items that are similarly related. ( Later this fall the bathroom vanity cabinet will be painted red and glazed- look for an upcoming post.)The mirror was originally my Mother's and hung above our piano since I was a child.
I think little embellishment on a mirror can soften it and give it such interest! This old mirror looks so fetching with a little bit of green gracefully draped over it.
Small wreath hung from beautiful ribbon also give a mirror panache.
Do you embellish your mirrors? I'd love to hear!
I am participating in Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly for hosting this great weekly pink party! Please visit How Sweet The Sound.

I, too have mirrors in every room Yvonne. And I see you also have a tole tray- there is a collection on a family room wall. I just love them :)

I love the way mirrors capture and reflect beauty all around them. Those that come to us from dear ones seem to reflect a part of them into our lives as well. I have a dear old oval mirror that hangs in my home. Every time I look at it, I see my mother and grandmother--stopping to check their hair or makeup before going out the door. Thanks for that special memory this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe bohemian bathroom is beautifully reflected! And the colorful berries do add just the right softening touch.
Best,
Bonnie
Yvonne, I love your wallpaper. If I knew how to hang it myself I would paper mine. The paper I had in my powder room had to come down. It was a blue stripe that did not work any longer. Great minds think alike. I have a couple of vintage tole trays hanging in my powder room. Love the garland over the mirror, too. BTW you do not need any decorating help, girl.
ReplyDeleteYes your mirror does look fetching and I am a fan of wreaths hung by a ribbon over a mirror. From what I can see, that is a beautiful bathroom.
ReplyDeleteThrow my name in the hat, great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love big beautiful mirrors and delicate vines! I entered the giveaway and mentioned you in my comment! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteI LOVE mirrors. I dont' think it's possible to have too many of them either.
ReplyDeleteMost of mine I leave plain, but the one in my bedroom is embellished. It actually came that way...white painted wood as the frame. A hydrangea swag attached to the top, and blue ribbon weaved through some holes on the bottom and sides of the frame. Unfortunately, it's somewhat on the "country decor" side, which is no longer my preference. But it was a gift from my daughter, so I will not replace it.
I love the vintage tray you have hanging on the wall.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs,
Patti
Our house is small...I love mirrors for giving rooms a larger look. Your decorative touches are always spot-on gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteYour lovely posting today inspired me to embellish a mirror...although I do that at Christmas, I think fall will be a good time to use some of my berry garlands for that very purpose. Thanks.

I'm so excited about your giveaway, Yvonne, and have done a post about on my blog this weekend. I love your roasted corn and bacon chowder and blogged about that as well. So many of us are eagerly waiting to hear about the lucky winner.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a blog and facebook follower.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne, I love embellishing mirrors as well, I think it softens the space around the mirror and takes the eye to a different perspective. Your bathroom wallpaper is beautiful - I don't blame you for never wanting to change it. We have a tomato red paisley wallpaper in our kitchen here at Frog Hollow Farm - it's been up for about 20 years and I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. It's full of so many different colors and I love looking out the big kitchen window at a bleak February day with the red paisley wallpaper framing the scene and adding some color! Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments!
ReplyDeleteCiao, bella!
what a fun giveaway! would love to win!

I'm a new fan and follower. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I came across your blog! It's absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHello, Yvonne. I have a coffee filter garland hanging as a swag in my dining room. This $2 project made the room to me. The walls are 12 ft high and the mirror is flanked by 2 large lamps. It just needed something to soften it. I always liked the swags I used at the holidays so I made something to use year round. Made it with my daughter which makes me love it even more.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so amazing. Love your embellished mirrors. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of your amazing creations!!!
ReplyDeleteI've asked to be your "friend" on FB!!!
ReplyDelete*** First, you have a LOVELY website! Very inviting. *** Second, I would LOVE to win this for my mom's hospital room. She has been in the hospital since August. This would really cheer her up. annc999(at)yahoo(dot)com.
