Even though I bought the frames at Pottery Barn a few years ago
…they feel special as they are no longer available.
I printed the 8 x 10″ black and white photos on my printer.

We had this iron Crate & Barrel mirror when we lived in Fort Lauderdale, FL and then in Mammoth Lakes…and now

The “leaf pattern” goes with my theme,
but the color needed lightening.
So, I painted it with Annie Sloan Pure White Paint
and clear wax.
I wanted it to be subtle, because as you will see,
I have a lot going on in this little room. But it needs to be restful and welcoming.
Just outside the door is the stairwell…
and since there is so much light today,
it looks like a good opportunity to retake/show my staircase.
(I still want a runner–ha! Would this qualify for
another One Room Challenge? Not much to do).

It’s coming along…

Please come back!

February 27, 2013 at 4:06 pmLooks great. I see a bit of that great wall stenciling! The iron mirror looks much better painted. I know what you mean about holding on to items no longer available. I can make the justification that they are collectors items now. Have a great day! -Tonya

February 27, 2013 at 4:30 pmI didn't realize AS made a white paint. I think you are the first to use it. Everyone else is using a color. I want it.I love that you framed a picture of your furry child. I need to do that, too. Could you really stretch out a 6 week post on a stair runner? Now that would be a challenge.

Gail Storti says
February 27, 2013 at 6:28 pmIt just gets better and better! Love the photos gallery of your "babies" . Boy, that old/"new" mirror gets around and it looks wonderful in white. I'm dying to try Annie Sloan's chalk paint, do you have a place near you to buy it? I'd love a runner on my stairs too….maybe in my next life! The room is really looking great!
The enchanted home says
February 27, 2013 at 7:20 pmYou are SO good! Just when I think it can't get better…..it does!! Its coming along beautifully and I loved the framed black and whites and the mirror transformation, cannot wait to see the big reveal!
Kim says
February 27, 2013 at 7:32 pmI love repurposing … and the mirror is beautiful in white. I am dying to try some Annie Sloan paint … I am searching for the next "paint me" project in my house!! Looking forward to seeing your rug and nailheads!! xo
