Wall Hangings

The mirror is up in the bathroom! By putting the mirror right under the lights, it reflects light throughout the room and makes it even brighter. I'm glad that I went with the darker storage cabinet. It would have been too bright with the white ones.

The only unfortunate thing we discovered is that the sink isn't quite lined up with the light fixture, which wasn't apparent until we put the mirror in the middle. We lined the mirror up with the lights since it's closer to the mirror, but it's obvious they're not all lined up when you look at it. It's not much, but it's not perfect...guh!

Also up on the wall is some artwork to fill in the breakfast bench wall.

I painted these a few years ago in my art class (which I plan to start up next month, so take note, ladies!). They were painted to be hung in a square, not all lined up in a row. But in this space it looks better this way.

The colors work well, don't they?

Here's also a close-up of the paintings. They're bamboo shoots and leaves that are interconnected if put together in the right order in a square.

Also up on a wall is the cork/white board. It fit in perfectly in the blank wall space between the door frame leading to the dining room and the shallow cabinets on the inside wall of the kitchen.
It'll be the grocery list board, honey-do list board, coupon board, etc. board....

Ideally it would be located next to the back door, but there's no wall space that wide enough to house it. Another option was to put it on the wall above the bench where the paintings are, but the hooks would have hit a head sitting on the bench.

So, out went the board to the other wall and in came the paintings, which look better here anyway!
