I would paint it the same white you chose for your plank wall and also plank right over that mirror in the same white.

As for the fireplace mirror, oh well, I'm pretty sure you'll come up with something much more fabulous than any of us could suggest you, but here are my 2 cents : I would get rid of the mirror and plank the whole thing. But, in case the homeowner would like to preserve it, then I would overgrout (German smear) the stone, remove that mantel and replace it with a wood beam, rework the mirror frame to something more streamlined and go for a "mirror layered over another mirror" look. Or, like some others have suggested, antique the mirror.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326200997366031462.post-35884756068051404262017-08-25T22:55:31.238-04:002017-08-25T22:55:31.238-04:00I agree paint the mirror frame in a gray color pul...I agree paint the mirror frame in a gray color pulled from the stone.

As for the mirrored fireplace, I was looking at a restoration hardware catalog in the child's room decor section, and they had these gorgeous wishbone sconces, don't know if the'd be big enough, or how they could be lit... but that's what i though of when i saw the big mirror. As for Trader Joes, don't EVEN go near the dark chocolate covered mints,... they're insane!<br /><br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980709067973460368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326200997366031462.post-44041715113178279272017-08-25T11:50:32.755-04:002017-08-25T11:50:32.755-04:00Absolutely love the color palette and fabric choic...Absolutely love the color palette and fabric choices it will be stunning. What style of planking are you going to use? If the mirror has to stay I would make a larger frame around it and add a larger more substantial mantle it looks a bit dwarfed for the size of the fireplace wall.I would add planking in the same feel as the walls if it will work to the top and bottom portion to shorten the expanse of mirror and possible change the shape at the top a bit so it's arched slightly, basically make a large frarme around the mirror portion. Keeping it simple and clean not too much pattern since you have the stone work which is making a pattern already.Kathysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272239664279235716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326200997366031462.post-27532049526621984982017-08-25T11:48:22.768-04:002017-08-25T11:48:22.768-04:00You are planking the walls, you could plank right ...You are planking the walls, you could plank right over the mirror, or the entire fireplace the stone is not a priority.

The overlay could obscure the entire mirror, just a lower portion or create several stacked mirrored "windows". Oooor, have the mirror (and frame) removed, have the mirror antiques and rehang it with a millwork frame painted as recommended above. Oooor, have the millwork overlay painted in a gray to teal ombré. Keep or toss. Meg AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
