The mirror thats currently over our buffet would be placed elsewhere in our house.
The mirror I want to move into our dining room currently resides in our living room. It's a large mirror and super heavy.
Below is an old picture of the mirror, leaning against our living wall before it was hung { right after we first moved into our house}. This gives you a better idea how large the mirror is. I bought a few years ago at Ross for $ 49.99. It was so large, it didn't fit into the trunk of my car.
Mr. CHL isn't convinced a the extra large mirror will look good in the dinning room. I think it will be perfect for the space, just hoping our light switch and alarm box isn't in the way. I love the two dining rooms below both have extra large mirrors.

What do you think of my idea to move our large mirror into the dining room? Will it bounce more light around our house and make the space look larger, or will it look to big and out of place?
I think you should go for it! Move that baby!
ReplyDeleteI think the mirror in the dining room will lok great! Also, I think the chaulkboard should go over the buffet!
ReplyDeleteThe mirror in the dining room will be great!! I did the same thing and replaced a mirror and in the dining room now seems so much different!! Just do it, like Nike..

I think this is one of those "you can't go wrong either way" scenarios. If you want to switch it up, go for it!
ReplyDeleteI think it would look awesome....I love mirrors in dining rooms. If I were you, I would hold it there and see if you like it before committing by nailing it into the wall. But that is just me... Can't wait to see what you decide!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts!! I was afraid the mirror might look too big on the small wall.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Duncan - I was thinking the same thing, chalkboard will look much nicer over the buffet :)
I agree! Do it. I would leave other mirror over buffet and put chalk board in, say....kitchen somewhere?
ReplyDelete...another vote for yes! If you're worried about it looking too big, just use painters tape to do a test run and decide then. Personally, I think that it will bounce more light around and make the space seem larger.
ReplyDeleteKasey - Great idea about suing the painters tape to decide! Thanks, I'm going to try that first :)
ReplyDeleteEither, or. If you do move it, maybe you could paint it? And I agree with whoever mentioned moving the chalkboard.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it!

Kelly - I thought about painting the mirror too :) But I'm not sure what color? Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteDO IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would do it, as long as it look funny with the light switch.
ReplyDeleteIT will look great go for it!
ReplyDeleteDo it! you will be shocked at the transformation! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the switch plan. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you. The mirror will def give off the illusion of a bigger space. Can't wait to see it go up!
ReplyDeleteI just wrote you a letter for a comment and it didn't go through!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge mirror we will be hanging in our little dining room for the same reasons. I think it will be great!
Oh, and I love your light above the table.
