The Mirror is Up!

Lately I've been taking the bull by the horns...at least with hanging things up in our house. Normally I would probably ask Gil to hang the mirror and pictures that I've hung around the house lately. I don't have a great track record for placing things on the wall in a good spot or hanging things straight. But I have to say, I've been on a role lately so I decided to tackle the mirror. I had a few problems, but was able to get it up on the wall successfully.

I love that this mirror was on sale at IKEA for (I think) $14.99 or so.

Fun pattern, pretty drawer knobs.

I don't know what all I want on this sideboard type table yet, but this is how it's currently looking. On the right is a vase of fresh lavender from Trader Joe's that I picked up today. So delicious smelling! I also framed my favorite of the prints from the IKEA pack that I used in the upstairs bathroom.

Here's another shot taken from the living room looking into the dining room area. The space where the red table is has been empty for the past two years. I love how it adds a pop of color, storage, and visual interest!

I really haven't spent much time decorating the basement, but I bought this from Target this week. I'm not a big proponent of buying pre-framed art from big chain stores, but I thought this was a really fun print.

Here's a shot from far away. I centered the picture on the wall, but now I kinda wish I hadn't because it would be fun to put a few smaller frames next to it. Maybe some other time...

I love these pillows that we picked up from IKEA a while ago. The green rug is also from IKEA. It looks dark here, but it's a fun bright green color actually. I'm not so good with picture-taking!

It's fun for me to keep track of our house progress since we bought it two years ago. I love our little bungalow!
