If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that we are getting close to finishing our living room built-in! Hooray! We just need to add a piece of trim, crown moulding, and patch some of the wall paint. It is turning out exactly like I dreamed up in my head and I can’t wait to show it to you all! I’ve been giddy about it!
You know what else I’ve been giddy about? With the TV moved to the built-in, I got the fireplace mantle back to decorate! And it’s even better than before because now we have planking!
Of course, before we had even made a single cut for our built-in, I found the perfect mirror for the fireplace. Ha! I was in at Home Goods looking for a mail sorter and spotted this mirror down the aisle. It was love at first sight! I anticipated it being $50 or $60 for such a large, detailed mirror, but was pleasantly surprised to see it was only $30! For something substantial and well made like this mirror, that’s a steal!
I love that the gray pulls out our wall color and the wood undertones pull out the washed wood accents in the room.
I’m planning to finally build a long, skinny box for the middle of the mantle like Thrifty Decor Chick did years ago. Seriously, I think that project was the first thing I ever pinned and I still haven’t done it! Where do the years go?!
But, in the meantime, I’m loving my new view that doesn’t include a TV! Wahoo!
I’ll be back with the built-in reveal, so stay tuned! Happy Weekend, Everyone!
Your mirror looks fantastic. I can't believe you got it for such a bargain, you could totally tell everyone it cost you $300.
I like your new mirror and fireplace decorations. Very nice. Dropping by from I should be mopping…
Have a great day!
Lovely! Very charming style.
