It is plain with just a hint of being ornate. I've been looking for a vintage piece to turn into a vanity, but so far haven't had any luck. I need such a narrow piece, I don't know if I will be able to find anything sturdy enough to hold a sink and faucet. And I've decided that I definitely need the vanity and the wall color before I can pick a color for this mirror...so many decisions and so little time...LOL.. You are too funny!

I am thinking along those same lines...that I've got to have the other pieces of the puzzle in place before I can decide on a color for the mirror...the vanity has become the most difficult decision because of the size...it is a really narrow space.<br /><br />And yes, ma'am it is definitely already started making the story rounds...but I've got one of my own to share about him, so I'm hoping that will take the spotlight off of me for a bit! :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-9447617983995312992015-10-19T15:50:39.361-05:002015-10-19T15:50:39.361-05:00Thank you so much!
