You may remember the mishap we had at some unearthly hour of the night when the metal hook holding up a mirror snapped and the mirror, and urn beneath it, came crashing to the ground (pic 2). I decided to replace the mirror with one I had sitting in the garage. It was made redundant from the entry foyer a while ago. It was a gold/bronze colour so I painted it.....wait for it....white!(imagine that).
I picked up 2 rattan/cane/wicker (can someone please do a post on the difference between these) chairs off ebay. I'm really happy with the way they look in this room. Still not sure what style I'm going for in here. Everytime I see a picture I like on a blog I change my mind (see, it's all your fault,lol).
The mirror is certainly different but in a good way (I hope). What do you think?
Ugly power cords!
I want to mention a blog I have been following for a short time now and am really enjoying. May I introduce Alaina and her blog Arbour House Lane I'm sure she would love for you to visit and say "Hi".

Of course you know I like the mirror, because.... wait for it.... white... ah.
I kept reading and WHAT....hey, hey that's me, my name. Well heck, I don't know what to say other than, thanks you for the nice words....I love your blog too. Oh and then more chairs, you know I love the chairs too. They are just singing summer and come relax in me. I love the colors on the chairs too. Have a great weekend.
The mirror looks so cool! Much nicer white :) Hmmm maybe I will look up the rattan/wicker/cane thingy and do a post - I think I know, but maybe not haha!
Ange that's one funky mirror...I love it. I'll be sure to check out Alaina's site.
Your new mirror is lovely, Ange! And the chairs are perfect!! Have a wonderful weekend, my dear!
I can only imagine how scary it was to wake up to that mishap....I DEFINITELY remember you blogging about it. The new mirror is very lush and the chairs -- ebay? Really? Why can I NEVER find an ebay or Craigslist treasure?
Jealous!! (In a good way)
Cheers~

Hi! You have a a lovely blog. I am now a follower.
Hi Ange, How funny I was absolutely just thinking of this mirror today as I hung one above a glass top shelf at the nursery and I thought gee I hope this is ok I hope the hook is strong enough don;t want it to come crashing down....like poor ange. And then I get home and read this...I love the new mirror and your chairs are lovely. Hope your hook is good and strong, cheers Katherine
Ange great nakeover on the replacement mirror. Hope it is on a stronger hook!

Don't you just love stripes. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.
I think the mirror is so interesting and wonderful. The wicker chairs too.....I always have a fear of my mirrors falling which is why \i have never hung them. I just lean them! Love the room.
I like the mirror -- it's got great form. That must have been quite a "crash"!
Hi , I did read about your mishap...but love the replacement...just gorgeous...amazing shape...have a loveley day Kym
I love the wicker chairs..I know what you mean about blogs making you change your mind about things...too much gorgeousness out there.Rxx
Ange, you have been chosen for the 6th picture. The object is to go back in your blog and find your 6th picture, repost, tell about it and then pick 7 blogger to join. I have mine on my blog now. If you have already done this or do not want to do it, that's fine, just send me a comment. Have a wonderful day.
The new mirror looks so pretty! I'm off to check out that blog.
