Mirror, Mirror on the wall

I never know what to call the place I live in. Is it an apartment, a townhouse, a fourplex? It's a fourplex because there are 4 units in this place, it's an apartment because my address says "apt. C" and it seems like a townhouse because it's 2 story, our bedrooms are upstairs. Anyway, the problem with living in a multiple-family dwelling is that you share walls with your neighbors which means you only have windows on two sides (front and back). That can make a place seem like a dungeon. To get away from that feeling I use mirrors. My mirrors look like windows and add some much needed architectural details to my space. I have mirrors in my living room, dining room, stairway and kitchen. I really don't love staring at myself in them, I just like the way they spread more light and open up my space. I've learned that teenage girls LOVE to look at themselves though and it's fun to watch them. LOL

Both mirrors were made by my dad. I tease him and say that my home is his showroom.
I had quite a few questions asked on last two posts so I will answer them here since blogger does not allow me to reply to your messages.

1. Sorry but my dad doesn't have any plans written up for the birdhouse table he made. If he did, I would certainly share them with you.

2. I didn't make the picture frame in the photo. I think I bought it at Target about 5 years ago. It's so funny, I just saw that same picture frame on someone's blog recently (I can't remember who's blog it was though).

3. Gayla, my mom is doing a lot better now, thanks for asking. I didn't mention this on my blog, just a comment I left on Gayla's...my mom was in the hospital recently, actually twice this year but she seems to be doing better now.

4. I haven't forgotten that I need to write up instructions on how I paint my furniture...hopefully I'll get to that soon!
