What D'Ya Think?

This is a "HELP me decide" kinda post and a "I would love your opinion" kinda post....

I just want your opinion on what I should do with a new fabulous find. I am leaning one way but I was hoping you can give me ideas I didn't think of!

I got this great mirror at another thrifting adventure this past Saturday. I always go out with the idea of finding things to sell in my Etsy shop and occasionally I just have to keep something!

My first thought was to upcycle this large mirror by painting and distressing it a funky color and then listing it in my shop....but then I am too afraid to ship it!

 

 

My second thought was to try and do something very fun and different which is to paint the frame and hang a plant inside of it like Tuula from The Thrifty Rebel did....

 

 

 

I picked up a planter just like the one in the picture at the same sale that I got the frame. I already bought the plant to go in it and I have a great wall to hang it on the front porch...right above my vintage 3 tier shelf.....

 

The plant on the top is actually the plant I would put in the planter. I haven't come up with colors yet for the planter or frame. My porch is white with different shades of sage green. I could use suggestions there too!

 

The only problem with this great idea is that I would have to disassemble the whole back to take the mirror out and I am not sure I want to do that....or do I? Ya know, in case I change my mind in a week.





 

As I was pondering all this I decided to hang the mirror from the cupboard in the dining room to get it off the floor and avoid breaking it! It is quite large at 24" x 30" and cumbersome.

 

TA DAAA! This became my third choice!

 

It looks great on my dining room cupboard and up till now that is where it has been! It is kind of  a different thing to do....hang a mirror on a cupboard....and that is why I like it.

 



 

It is not really practical here because I would have to move it every time I needed something IN the cupboard, which holds all my good dishes and serving pieces. I just won't entertain ever again!

So, do I have a dilemma or is the choice clear?
