I had a great time shopping the clearance and sale items at one of my favorite stores, Kohl's. No kidding! They have good sales, and I find lots of things for my home there. For example, today I found these vinyl signs marked from $30 to $9! Yippee! I have been wanting something in vinyl to pretty up a very plain mirror in the dining room. And it's unlikely I will ever buy a Cricut...
This mirror belonged to hubby's mother. It's leaded glass, very heavy. I would never in a million years repaint it, but adding a little vinyl to it is just the ticket!
I also like the touch of ivy - love the color and look of ivy. I know some people don't like fakey plants, but silk leaves and flowers in the home are OK by me! Low maintenance and the kitty won't chew on them...
I had to cut the words out and place them on the mirror with tape to get them right where I wanted. I used a ruler to make sure they were centered on all sides, then off-set them a little. I wasn't aiming for perfection, but once you put them on, they are on.
I love that the gold script accentuates the gold of the mirror and framed prints.
Trust me - it's prettier in person - it's hard to photograph a mirror. I think it conveys the message I want for my home, especially for the holidays ahead!
