At the cottage, I have a LONG mushy sofa that had a big BLANK wall behind it. That wall faces the water. I debated a wall of art here, but decided it needed something white and simple and reflective to capture the blues outside and bring them in.
All of them are carved or beautiful plaster moldings........
The one on the right here, I bought in England years ago. It was yellow pine. I whitewashed it. ..they add a little architectural interest too................
They are all slightly different shades of white......
Except for this little guy......a 1950's pea green. I like the juxtaposition of one lone wolf....and the fact that people get confused by this oddball....
All I have to say is...it's absolutely GORGEOUS and I wish this porch was at my house!
ReplyDeleteChania! Its is perfect! Love it! Look marvelous! ~lulu
ReplyDeleteI think you made the perfect choice for that wall.
ReplyDeleteHi Chania,
ReplyDeleteJust love the grouping of chippy mirrors...and that little oddball green one. So clever!

That's just lovely - everyone single mirror is terrific including the odd one out.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful Chania, I love your grouping of mirrors and your comfy looking lounge and I LOVE The chippy old trunk beside the sofa! xx
ReplyDeleteChania it is lovely. I love the soft white of the mirrors and I would love to curl up with my laptop on that sofa. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the whitewahed frames! so charming! That sofa looks perfectly fit for an afternoon nap!:-)
ReplyDeleteChania I love your wall of mirrors and their beautiful frames! And everyone needs a little something that's just a tiny bit odd, it adds interest and is a great conversation starter!

Your mirrors are beautiful! I love your sofa as well - it looks so comfy!!
ReplyDeleteThe mirrors look great behind the sofa. I had a go at painting a mirror white once but it wasn't a credit to me - it just looked amateurishly painted. Yours will encourage me to try again.
ReplyDeleteChania! When I first saw the photo before I read the post, I thought they were windows behind the sofa!!! What a great way to bring the outside in to that side of the room!
ReplyDeleteHealth and happiness,

I totally love all the mirrors - i have been thinking about giving mirrors a try but havent found my first perfect one yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of white washed mirrors. I enjoy the way you grouped them together and am now wondering about the story behind each one. I do love the way it all looks together, especially that chippy trunk next to sofa. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteChania,
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this beach house. Can I come and stay for just a while?. Beautiful

ReplyDeletePerfect for reflecting a nice view! Love that you have a sense of whimsy with the little pea green one... that makes the wall perfect, imo :-)
