Mirrored Vignette

After looking for an affordable piece of mirrored furniture for about a year, I was so excited when I found this small dresser at Home Sense in November.

It's small enough to fit in our living room, but large enough to have a bit of presence and some storage too!  But I have been having a lot of trouble with what exactly to put on top of the dresser, and how to arrange it.

Just after Christmas, it looked like this:

A bit of a victim of what was just hanging around and needed some place to go, as you can tell by the sad poinsettia, still in it's cheap gold wrapper.  And right now, it's the best place for our phone, which is not helping the "pretty" factor!

In April, I'd finally ditched the Christmas flower and moved on to something more springy.

However, while it doesn't really show in this picture, those adorable gray boxes are just not the right match with my light gray chairs.

And this is where I am today.  I finally hung the picture, but I'm not sure if that's quite right either.  I picked up the bird tray from the fantastic store House/Boat (I cannot find a website!) when we were on Salt Spring Island in May.

I like some elements, but I know this look isn't set in stone either.  Do you have any suggestions of what I should try next?

Weekend Getaway - Salt Spring Island

This past week Kevin and I celebrated our fourth anniversary.  We took a  few days off work and headed over to Salt Spring Island, just a short ferry ride away.  We stayed in a "vacation rental by owner" condo and it was great!

Beautiful view from the covered deck.

I loved this little vignette in the bedroom.

We spent a few days driving and walking around, just relaxing and checking out the gorgeous scenery...

...the locals (hehe)...

...and the Saturday Market.  We had wonderful weather and it was such a relaxing few days.  Hard to believe we've never been there before, but we would definitely go again!
