Showin' and Tellin' -- A Major Craigslist Mirror!

Welcome!

It's Friday -- and I'm joining the Show and Tell blog party, hosted by Cindy at My Romantic Home.
Go visit ... when you are done here, of course!


I'm leaving soon to get my Dad from the hospital, so this is a quickie,
using pictures of a mirror we found on Craigslist last year. The owner was asking $65.

He was closing up his New Jersey apartment. We offered $50. He graciously accepted.

This is a big mirror, with a cast brass frame, and it weighs a ton.

Maybe two tons. Maybe three!

It stood in the corner of our dining room for months,

while we worked up the courage to hang it over the old (Ebay!) sideboard.

Finally, Howard and my brother-in-law Bill, with the able assistance of an electronic stud finder (no rude jokes, now, ladies) and a couple of very sturdy picture hangers, got the monster up on the wall.

Whatcha think?

I love it, and think its brassy frame is just right for the old worn brasses on the sideboard.

Plus, a big mirror makes the dining room look even bigger,
and -- having come from a former house that had a dinky dining room -- I love that!

Thanks, Cindy, for hosting Show and Tell! Off to fetch my Pop -- Cass
