The big blank wall

Do you hate or love a big blank wall?  I was told by hubby and (interior decorator daughter) that something needed to be done.  They are both out of town this weekend, so here goes.

First ~ the wall.  Raining in Texas this morning YAY.  Sorry pictures so dark.


Then add chairs ~ two dining room chairs and pillows.



Add a zinc table and impromtu bar area.


Love my thrifty find of the week, the mirrored cake/anything plateau with the black and gold harlequin pattern.  Hoblobby $50.00 for 90 percent off, $5.00 gotta holla. 


Finish off with round, tiled mirrors.  IKEA clearance.  


Great mirrors with a band of mirrored tiles surrounding the edges.


I went with two. Total make-over $24.98.  Yes the mirrors were on sale for $9.99.



Before / After
What do you think?



Hmmm, I think I am going to drape the table.  Maybe next weekend.

Enjoying the rain and cooler temperatures.  Koi pond is full, life is good.

  6. I like it! and you did all for such little money! That zinc table is great! I have a big blank wall we have talked about forever at my house and I just can't figure out what to do with it. (thought I was hearing things this morning when I heard thunder and rain; it's wonderful today!)
