So, here's the scoop. About a month or so ago.... I was moseying through Tai Pan and I found these 8 x 10 inch mirrors that were on sale for $2.50. I was with a friend and we talked about how cute it would be to get a few of those and arrange them in a cute way.... Well... after we left I kept thinking about them. I had been looking for one big mirror to put in our living room (they say mirrors make a room look bigger).. but large mirrors can be quite expensive. I kept thinking about it and decided to get a few. I went back and the mirrors weren't $2.50 anymore... they were $1.96!!!!!!!! So I got six of them... all for about $12.00. They were white originally and Steven and I both thought that they didn't stand out very much against our wall, so I spray painted them dark brown (PS - if you live in a basement NEVER spray paint inside. I wasn't smart and me and Steven both paid for it.)
Plus, the corners were all yellow and icky... so they needed to be painted anyways.



After I painted them I sanded the edges a little bit to give them an antiquey look.

After they were all done I was trying to figure out some fun way I could arrange them all and hang them. Unfortunately, I am not that creative and couldn't think of any combination that I didn't think would look strange. I called my sister-in-law for help and we both decided it'd probably look best if I just did them in three in a row. We hung them up and very sadly... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I am starting to get used to it but at first I was a bit disappointed because it looked cuter in my head. I'm not sure if I'll keep them up there or not.



Let me know what you think!
Your idea and the finished project are very cute! I wish I were creative like that. Your Holly family pictures are really cute too! Love to you! This is Lisa and not Mark even if the note says I am Mark!
