I've had this mirror hanging in my kitchen area for quite some time
and I've never been all that crazy with the finish (gold with a white wash)
and then... while out shopping at Jo-Ann Fabrics I came across this French flower basket
so naturally I bought it.... along with some pretty faux flowers to fill it
Loved how it turned out and knew it would look great hanging on that mirror... once I painted it white of course!
So I promptly gave it my Chantilly Lace paint job
And they're living happily ever after....
I'm happy too!

Very pretty! And oh, I opened the little garden corner at WCS on Wednesday night. I have a lot more to put in there, but it's a good start for now.
Blessings and Hugs,

Tres jolie!
It looks beautiful. I have a picture frame almost exactly like it but gold, so that's what it will look like white. I have painting to do.
Just gorgeous!!! How did I miss that basket when I was in JoAnn's Monday???? Your mirror came out terrific,too!

I wish we had a JoAnn's up here in Canada...your mirror and basket turned out absolutely gorgeous. You are so talented. Would you be willing to share your Chantilly lace painting effect?
Thanks so much,
Carrie
I LOVE that basket! I haven't seen that at my JoAnn's, apparently I need to look closer. Hope you have a great weekend :)
Because a few have asked.... My "Chantilly Lace paint job" was nothing more than painting the mirror with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace #OC-65 flat white paint and then sanding it over in spots for a shabby effect.
Can't go wrong with the Chantilly Lace treatment!" I use this color on everything and I'm glad that you are trying it out too.
I love your mirror and that basket is the cutest ever. It looks like a small version of the vintage ammo basket that I found bought from a dealer.
Very pretty.

That looks very pretty! I was just at JoAnns today and saw that pretty basket. I love what you did. :)
I cant believe i didnt think of this. Silly me. I have a very similar frame in the master. Its empty. Ive been waiting for the right piece of art to come along. For a couple yrs now, lol. Im pickey. I also have a white tin wall pocket that i picked up from a thrift store. Oh goody, now i know exactly what ile do with the both of them. Thanks for the inspiration. If ya get the chance stop by and say hello sometime..........Bonnie
Oh, I missed this post. I found the same basket at Tuesday Morning. I posted on it, recently. That's too funny. Great minds think alike. You have great taste :) Heeee Michelle xo
We have the same basket! Yours looks beautiful the way you've done it up. I love the idea of hanging it on the mirror. It just couldn't be prettier...
