But as soon as the first sheet was up on the wall I knew it was exactly what we had been lacking before.
Today the weather is not being very cooperative for pictures so everything looks a little washed out, but I am sure you can see the effect. As soon as we have another bright sunny morning I will be in here snapping away to update our master reno link.My latest dilema is now whether to go back to the black mirror for a punch of contrast.
Or stay with the soothing white one.
We also made the call to bring the settee upstairs and have already spent some time this afternoon cuddling with Wren and playing on it. I can tell it will be a great addition for us up here instead.
One of my favorite recent finds was this set of original drawings I picked up at Goodwill for $4.99 each. They are so whimsical and after the frame of the gold one is sprayed black as well they will reside on my side table leaning against the wall.
I am hoping that sunny day will be shining through these windows tomorrow!
Now we are off to enjoy a romantic dinner and movie while Wren experiences her first sleep over at Grandma's! And catch up on a LOT of sleep~

I love it.
I like the black mirror better than the white. It adds a needed punch.
i love the wallpaper ..paisley is one of my favorites as well.The bedroom just looks amazing.. well done Holly..I'm a huge fan of your work & your blog - i think your restorations are to die for .look forward to many more of your new projects xx
I love the white mirror...like you said, it's soothing. The black looks good as well but it takes the focus away from everything else. Beautiful job as usual!
I love the wallpaper. I would go with a blue for the mirror. Maybe like the throw on the bed and the chair that is peeking to the left of the pics.
Really pretty! I know it's not your taste as much, but I think a silver mirror-- a Louis Phillipe style, maybe?-- would look amazing with that paper. If not, I would go with a deeper gray. I love the paper!!!!
The wallpaper is really beautiful. I'm sure this will be a lovely serene place for you to relax in. Although I'm a big fan of black and white I think the white mirror works best. Fantastic job.
LOVE the wallpaper...I agree...it is just what you needed. Looks fabulous! ~mary~
black mirror!
Hi Holly!!! Looks beautiful the wallpaper and everything else! I have a beautiful wallpaper here but ended up deciding for the light blue on our bedroom...yours looks GORGEOUS!
I'm about to send you the pictures of the furniture. I'll see if I can do this tomorrow...quite busy here with the kids!
I'll talk to you soon,
XoXo, Li :-)
Nice wallpaper. I like the white mirror, its not so stark against all the other white.
White mirror definitely! :) But everything you do is gorgeous!
This is breath taking!! Leave the black mirror LOVE IT!
I LOVE it! I love the black mirror too! If not black, I would do a darker grey! It all looks fantastic. I like the settee up there too!
As if it wasn't hard enough to get out of bed in the morning...What a beautiful room~

The wallpaper looks so classy and soothing. I like the white mirror or would go with a silver.
I love the paisley wallpaper with the white mirror!
can i start by saying i love that you said "i'm in love with paisley 'today'"?! it made me chuckle because i fall in and out of love each and every day. :) that paper, however, is fabulous and sure to be something you love forever, since you have had your fill of removing the stuff, right? :)
everything looks absilutely beautiful. what a perfect place to come back to after your romantic dinner.
as for the mirror... i'm a sucker for that glossy white one. found a similar one myself thats getting sprayed glossy white tomorrow. :)
enjoy your evening of romance and rest lovely.
Gooooooooooorgeous!!!! You made me believe in wallpaper again. ;-) I like the mirror white- so soothing. I want to sleep in that room but I guess that would be weird. =)
Very pretty wallpaper. I think the black mirror balances the black picture frames and the blackboard on the other wall. What a serene bedroom you have created.

omgoodness-- lurve lurve lurve what you do
i say white mirror
and second i say if you are in ny and want to redo my house- come on over
i like the black mirror. it has more contrast and brings the other black elements in the room together. i also like how the shape of the mirror matches the inlaid detail on the chest. works really well together.
Go with the white mirror. Your room and wallpaper look amazing.
It looks amazing! I love the white mirror...black takes too much away from everything else.
I love the wallpaper, and prefer the white mirror. As I had written to you before by email, you inspired me to do my room all white. I have uploaded pictures on my blog...lachiclife.blogspot.com
yesi
The wall paper looks wonderful in your room. I vote black mirror.
i love everything about it.
And not that it matters, but I like the white mirror better. more serene. And i don't think a punch is necessary in your room.
go with a lt blue mirror. I know what you mean about the wallpaper. WE removed it in all our rooms, but ended up putting it back up in th3e dining room. Some rooms just need wallpaper. And yours is beautiful!
It's absolutely gorgeous! I myself like the black mirror as it picks up the black in the frames and the chalkboard. The settee looks great in there.

It looks fantastic! I think I would stay with the white but they both look really good.
I puffy heart paisley. The paer your chose is perfct! vote for the white mirror. I love how restful that room is.
I say black mirror all the way! :)
I love the punch that the black mirror gives. That wallpaper is so pretty. Where did you get your duvet.comforter? It is GORGEOUS!
I'm no master at decorating, but I love the grey paint color you chose for the legs of the settee and think the mirror would look good that color. Otherwise I like the white one but I tend to like bedrooms to be soothing. Black is great too with the cute round pillow you have on the bed. My favorite is probably the chalkboard art you created... it's adorable. :) I love your blog Holly, you are a great artist of furniture. Keep up the good work!
It looks phenomenal! When we hung our wallpaper it was so scary that my husband wouldn't even touch it - but we both love it so much now! Also, I really think the black mirror looks great against the paisley wall.
Beautiful!!! Love the settee in the room, so cozy! And I think the white mirror looks best. The black is fun, but it distracts from everything else, and looks really "heavy" on that table. Just a thought:o)!
Lovely paper. Lovely duvet.
The wallpaper is perfect. The black mirror is my favorite - love the way it pops against the wall.
It turned out SO good!!! I think my vote may go to the white mirror. Can't wait to see what you pick though!
Melissa
Great wallpaper! Any tips for getting the pattern to line up? We just bought some to do our powder room but I'm waiting for a free weekend to tackle it all!
I think the black mirror adds a little bit of nice contrast!
omg holly!! it looks amazing!!
The wallpaper looks absolutely perfect Holly. And as for the mirror, how about black in winter and white in summer?

Your wallpaper is beautiful and elegant. Your bedroom looks better already. I think I like the dark mirror for some contrast. The settee also looks wonderful too!
Great job! You can pat yourself on the back now!

Luv the wallpaper. I'd go with the black.
Beautiful paper! and YES, leave the black mirror...the frame relates to the dark floors so nicely... Looks outstanding!
love it!
i like the black mirror only if there's some black accents to balance it off on the other side of the bed
and just curious, how do you manage to get your husband to agree to NOT have a TV in the bedroom??! My husband's dream would probably to have one in every frigging room in the house!
Beautiful as always! I love the mirrors. What about one that is painted the same blue as the chalkboard frame? Anything you do is divine :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I've gotta ask where you got your bedding from. It's luxurious!
I LOVE the wallpaper! The whole room looks great. I like the black mirror alot more than the white one.
Love the wallpaper. I think the white and black mirror both look great but, I think I would lean towards the white mirror.The room looks beautiful!
WOW!! I LOVE the wallpaper...you are so right; it was just what you needed in there. Oh, and just to throw my two cents in…I think I like white mirror. It looks more soothing which is exactly how a master retreat should look!
Beautiful wallpaper! It looks amazing! I hope you get much needed rest.... I love the white mirror.
Holly,
I LOVE your bedroom. so Pretty. I just love that wall paper. It is so pretty. I can't wait to see what else you are up to. This bedroom is my favorite that I have seen.
Take Care,
Maria
p.s the bead board paneling in your laundry room is great. We used the same paneling all over in one of our houses, I just loved it. I never thought about using it on the ceiling! Great idea! Can't wait to see it when you get done.
Well it's unanimous -- gorgeous wallpaper, gorgeous room.
Love the bedspread too -- are you willing to share your source?
The wallpaper is so soft and pretty, perfect for your room!
I am really loving the drawings you found at goodwill. What a fantastic find!
The settee looks great too! Oh, and I like the white mirror too.

Gorgeous! I love it. Black mirror for sure. The contrast is perfect.
I notice you have no clocks in your bedroom. do you hide those (along with their ugly wires) for the picture taking? As a fellow mother, I'm sure your alarm clock (like mine) comes with short legs, a cute smile and a very wet diaper!
I vote for the white mirror, the black is too much dark contrast in such a light room.
look forward to many more of your new projects

Either mirror looks great. Maybe white for summer and black to cozy it up a bit in winter! Love the settee. It looks perfect.
