Mirrors for the Bathroom

I had been on the hunt for what seemed like forever and was thrilled to come across these ones from <a id="e71153961e" href="/o3l3.xml" rel="nofollow">Wayfair.</a> They perfectly matched the faucets and were narrow enough but still nice and tall. They were just what I had in my head. I love how they look and the girls were quite excited that they could actually see themselves while brushing their teeth! (We had temporarily put a mirror from our last house in here so at least our guests could do their makeup and stuff like that but because of the shape of it when they girls were brushing their teeth they actually couldn't see in the other mirror at all). The best part was they arrived when I was in the middle of my dining room building projects and it was so nice to be able to go upstairs and hang them. It took me five minutes to get them up and was a treat getting to have the instant gratification! I still need to add some simple artwork above the toilet to help break the wallpaper up a bit and add a light fixture above the vanity but other than that this room is basically finished - yay! </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both;

Despite a lot of hunting for them we haven't come across any real pumpkins yet and it's still quite hot here so I'm hoping that by adding a few darker cozy touches to this room will help make it feel like fall is on the horizon. This room has a warm feeling to begin with so we pretty much just changed out the pillows and added a few simple fall accessories. </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/e8bncr61.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TP7yDhY5DCE/VAqRL9IpQbI/AAAAAAAAvhk/JJPAoACQ548/s1600/eDSC_2893.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of the trees in our yard has leaves that are starting to turn a bit.

And I put one of our chalkboard canvases in <a id="e71153961e" href="/sno2okwo.xml">the hallway</a> where this mirror was. Then I will swap everything back again in January. I know that probably sounds a little bit crazy but it actually took less than five minutes to do the switch and I like how it looks this way a little bit better for fall. Although I have to say during the rest of the year I love the color the painting adds to this room. </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both;

This time we are partnering with them to bring you a wonderful giveaway just in time for fall! And to show you a little peek into our study and how we've added some autumn elements in there. (I'll have more images and full room shots in tomorrow's post).<br /><br />We are giving one lucky winner FOUR fabulous items from Birch Lane! The winner will receive TWO <a id="e71153961e" href="/m3xtrf.xml" rel="nofollow">Clara Cable Knit Pillows</a>, ONE <a id="e71153961e" href="/1xkxim.xml" rel="nofollow">Stag Pillow</a> and ONE <a id="e71153961e" href="/jyxd.xml" rel="nofollow">Olive Branch Wreath</a>.<br /><br />When the weather starts to turn cool and crisp I love absolutely anything and everything cable knit. When I saw <a id="e71153961e" href="/ggkupa.xml" rel="nofollow">these pillows</a> I fell in love with them and the little wood buttons are the perfect finishing touch. I want a set in every color! Seriously. I couldn't decide between the navy, the cream, these mocha ones or the gray. And they also have quite a few other beautiful colors! <br /><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NLUMmUA_yQw/VAqHViDh0bI/AAAAAAAAvfo/JG6rt_Z9cwo/s1600/eDSC_2927.jpg" width="436" /></div><br />And I love the fun look of this <a id="e71153961e" href="/mgt.xml" rel="nofollow">Stag Pillow</a>! It adds a nice quirky touch to this room for fall and also think it would look really good up at Jason's house for Christmas!

I think it would look really pretty on a front door.

Our Updated Dining Room with a New Farmhouse Table and Rolling Shelves

I'd like to get two more of the oval chairs to use where the bench is and just move the bench somewhere else and I'm still pondering wallpaper or at least painting the walls a charcoal color but haven't gone ahead with that. And as I mentioned in the Rolling Cart post a couple of days ago I'd like to eventually find a hutch for in here and move the rolling cart up to my office. Other than that though, it's really starting to feel so much more finished. </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/6q5p.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L0l4EBIAwzw/VAPryyO31FI/AAAAAAAAvJE/eOiDB5gPIFk/s1600/aDSC_2712-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/3ro8o1.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5XHAHSaxlBo/VAPrwAoVXMI/AAAAAAAAvI0/cSsSzPV07Ho/s1600/aDSC_2666-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/iebx.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xWOYXS8g2lQ/VAlGwKl4KpI/AAAAAAAAvd0/BGGpNsnT2ts/s1600/DBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/or5j03.xml" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vnGlwduFsrU/VAkww7_-smI/AAAAAAAAvdU/myuWjtnwY7o/s1600/aDSC_2731-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the photo below you can see the wallpaper I am thinking about going with:</div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/6m6g9.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5FQsU6VBHX0/VAPrznbl0YI/AAAAAAAAvJU/dxIh96HV7V0/s1600/aDSC_2723-2.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a id="e71153961e" href="/axiqizw.xml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ACEjxOQTOo/VAPryIm2glI/AAAAAAAAvI8/CicYNuxT7k0/s1600/aDSC_2702-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div id="e71153961e" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a close-up of the wallpaper.
