I had my staircase painted! It was painted the original beige color that my whole apartment was painted when I moved in. I had it painted white! It looks so fresh and clean now! The only room left with that original color is the upstairs bathroom, which hopefully will be changed soon...if I stop being so lazy! This year has been my year of having fun and getting out more with my girlfriends...living life but I still have projects around my apartment that I want to finish!
I had all the holes patched before they painted so I could rearrange the mirrors.
When I put them up the first time I just kept adding one at a time as I found them but I wasn't really happy with how they turned out. I hung almost all of them up again but moved them around a bit.
Most of these mirrors were found at garage sales, thrift shops or flea markets. The long one on the far right was found on the curb by my landlord! It's my favorite!
Most of them are plastic, some are wood and some are metal. I've repainted all of them! I don't think I paid over $10.00 for any of them. It took a couple years to find them but it was fun!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful compliments about my new hairstyle yesterday! Wow, you sure know how to make a person feel good! I didn't expect that many comments...it was wonderful.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I LOVE your new haircut! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour stair well is so pretty too and what a difference paint can make in changing things.
The mirrors are beautiful there. They make the stair case look more open, I think.

ReplyDeleteI have studied the instructions on how to join Show and Tell Friday, but, sadly, have not figured out exactly how to do so. I have done my post, it is scheduled for Friday 12:01 am, but I am new to blogging, and don't think that is right. The permalink for the post is http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5517865881645537696&postID=8877254089765457334. So if this permits participation, Yay. If not, I'll keep trying.
Thanks! Your blog is lovely.
Pretty! The happy times you spend with family and friends will always out way whether you get a wall painted or not! :-D I do like your hair.
ReplyDeleteI had good intentions of starting a mirror wall on my stair wall, but never followed thru.
These mirrors display wonderfully. Nice that you found them all for so cheap.
ReplyDeleteDI
It's beautiful! I absolutely love the mirror wall!
ReplyDeleteCindy, Your blog has become my most favorite! I live in a very small mid-century house and for me, it's inspiring because I see that you don't need to own a mansion or an old Victorian home to be surrounded with antique beauty. Love your hair too girl!
ReplyDeleteYour staircase looks wonderful. What a great collection of mirrors. I really like the effect of the various shaped mirrors on the wall. Creative.
ReplyDeleteDogwood
Super!!!! I have always loved the mirrors!
ReplyDeleteGo Roberto!
I love fresh, new paint, and your mirrors are stunning! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteI stumbled into a wonderful find of mirrors myself and I remembered your wonderful staircase so I have started my collection in the long hall of the Shabby Old House. Thanks for the inspiration Cindy.

ReplyDeleteJust pure stunning! And the hair as well
ReplyDeleteWhat color paint did you paint your mirror's? Love the new white on the staircase!
ReplyDeleteI love your staircase . On a good hair day I would appreciate all those mirrors and walk the stairs many times. :) You have a lovely home and the staircase has always been a favorite of mine to decorate. I do it with photos and prints at this time. Have a wonderful day. Deb (Ottawa, Canada)
ReplyDeleteYour place will get done little by little. Enjoy yourself with your friends, family and life. So much to see and do and you never know who you might meet along the way! Enjoy! Joanne
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I really like the way it turn out by you rearranging the mirrors this way. Of course it took awhile to get the mirrors so you wouldn't of been able to do it quite like this which was nice before, but this is perfect. I love it and my favorite mirror is the big one too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Day*
Hi Cindy, your mirror collection is to die for! Really like the way you grouped them together on the stairwell. We use grouping a lot in my redesign business. It really gives a room or hallway some va va voom! Great job.....the visual appeal is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous and I love all the mirros going up the staircase, perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove your stairway! You are a girl after my own heart! I too love mirrors!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful Cindy, your site is so inspirational. I am a newbit to your site and want to know more about you, are you a decorator or do something else for a living...I want more, the most beautiful home I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteAnd, BTW LOVE the new hair,
hugs,
Lisa
Hi Cindy ~
ReplyDeleteYour staircase looks great!!! I love all the mirrors! I think having them grouped all together can really open up an area and make it look so much bigger and brighter. I can't believe your landlord was going to toss that mirror!!! Oh well, your gain :)) Love it!! You know what they say... "One man's (or woman's) trash is another man's treasure"
I just listed my first item on Etsy and it is a mirror that resembles all of yours :))
Have a great day!!

Lisa, thank you! I work as an Sr. Administrative Assistant in the Silicon Valley area of California. I wish I were an interior designer! I was planning on going back to school for it in the fall but I'm having second thoughts now.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it! The mirrors are awesome. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis was the perfect post to come across today! Just bought one last week for $10. I would love to give mine this finish .
ReplyDeleteThank you!
