Can You Tell What's On My Mind??

These amazing images might give a hint:

I'm sure you guessed... I want to incorporate driftwood into my home! In our foyer, there is a large space above our bench just begging for a large rectangular mirror. And I have now decided (and become determined) to find one! Here is the space I am working with:


The mirror would go above black bench. 


This is before we had the bench. You can see a bit of our old red coat rack.

The first image I showed is almost exactly what I am looking for. The price I had in mind was under $70. The reason I am set on that price is because in the past, I have found great mirror deals at TJ Maxx and Home Goods at that price point and lower. The dimensions would need to be about 24" x 40." This might be a tough task, but I am up for the challenge! There are driftwood mirrors on the market, but are pretty pricey. I have even thought about buying a large, plain mirror and embellishing my own driftwood. (By the way, where could I find small pieces of driftwood???)

I would love to hear your ideas!

For now, I will either think about making my own or continue to scour Home Goods! Wish me luck...

I've been contemplating DIYing a driftwood mirror myself. Check ebay--they have sellers on there that sell driftwood in lots. My thing is I have no idea how much I'd need. Keep us posted if you do decide to take this on:)

You can find driftwood at the beach or on Ebay. Good luck! Looking forward to see your new project!

I think you could do a white wash on heavy, de-barked branches that would give them the driftwood look. I bought a mirror from Homegoods and glued shells all around it...my inspiration piece was $300 and I achieved the same look for $40. You can totally do this yourself!

Go for it! I love the rustic mixed with the nice piece of furniture underneath.

Hmm maybe try Ballard Designs or World Market- sometimes they have cheap options! Or maybe just go for a cheap Ikea mirror and see if you can find some driftwood- they might have some at a place like Michaels or Hobby Lobby
