Thrifted Mirror Vignette
Welcome to the Blog today. I was so excited to share my new thrifted finds with you earlier this week. One of them was a great distressed mirror…pictured above. I wanted to create a farmhouse style vignette using the mirror. It had to be something simple and something I could easily change so I settled on a spray of flowers and cotton that I put together quickly from my stash of flowers. In keeping with the distressed look I let the wire show along with the rusty hinges. The flowers trail across one corner of the mirror adding to the casual feel.
A black and cream table runner anchors the vignette and adds a country feel. Then I gathered together a bowl of sage cut from the garden and placed it in the center of the sideboard.
A shabby chic, wooden, candlestick came next with a multi-colored pillar candle that picks up the black in the mirror. The rough carving goes well with that casual look.
The grouping still seemed a little bare so I added a small watercolor in a black frame to the mix. It adds a pop of color while keeping things still in the black and cream color family.
Everything came together nicely. I think it has a country feel. What do you think?
Here it is from a side view.
I moved the picture to the front in this view as I couldn’t decide which way I liked it best. I love how the mirrors reflect the sage and add the reflection to the vignette.
This was a quick, fun, project and easy to do. I know I will be using the mirror in many settings. It is a perfect size for display. You never know what you’re going to find thrifting.
Cute vignette & I’m sure the fragrance is lovely upon entering your vestibule. I wonder, though, how the floral spray is attached to the frame?
Thanks, Robin. The sage does smell wonderful. I used two dots of hot glue to attack the flowers to the frame. Hope that helps. Have a great week.

What a fantastic find! The distressing is perfect.
The mirror really spoke to me, Susan. It was fun to work with it. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.

Lovely. I look for original art, not famous artists, just someone who took the time to share their talent. I give those pieces a new home. Your watercolor is delightful. Over from Pink Saturday. Enjoy your week!
Love Pink Saturday, Nancy. I like to collect original work as well. Just some pieces that I think will look good in the house or that I am somehow drawn to. I especially like small pieces I can set on a holder. Have a great week and thanks for visiting..

Enjoyed your vignette and loved the little watercolor. As my house has only so many walls (open concept, darn!), I especially collect and make tiny mirrors for my dollhouses! Works for me!
What a nice idea. I bet they are really special. I never have enough walls. I guess that’s why I change things around so much. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.

This is very beautiful, thank you for sharing! I need to learn to minimize some of my items to allow the ones I love to stand out more.
Happy you liked it. It’s fun to change a found item into something that matches your decor…cost effective, too. thanks for stopping by and sharing.

This is beautiful! I love the cream and black with pops of green. Lovely. Visiting from Happy Now.
Thanks, Jennifer. It was such a simple project and, fortunately, turned out exactly the way I saw it in my mind. As you probably know. that doesn’t always happen. thanks for stopping by and sharing.

I love the way the mirror turned out! So cute, and the vignette does look country. Kudos to you!
I was pleased with it, too, Cara. I like to mix up the styles occasionally when introducing new decor. This was a fun project. Have a great week and thanks for visiting.
