mirror, mirror , on the wall

our fireplace has been barren and in need of a face lift since the day we moved in.  don't get me wrong, it's a cute fireplace with a charming white mantle and slate surround, but it's been super neglected.  i haven't been sure what to do with it until recently.  i think it would be safe to classify me as a craigslist junky, but when you come across finds like this beauty (it's in the eye of the beholder, remember?) it's hard not to be.

apparently the person selling this mirror was tired of it taking up space in their garage and decided it was time to part with it.  lucky me!  not only did i score this great mirror but my once skeptical, but clearly on-board now, spousey bought me a great paint sprayer too!  so about 5 minutes later i had this to hang over the fireplace...

isn't it lovely?

The grass grows freely out behind my house, so i went out and cut some to add to the decor.  yay for free grass!  oh, and the paint?  well, i had gone back and forth for days and days between this blue color and a green color.  spousey voted blue, so off we went to get paint.  i decided to check the mistint paints for future inspirations, and what do i see?  major score!

mirror, mirror, on the wall,

i think you're the fairest of them all!
