In reply to Kristen. I agree, I really hope I can find out more about our homes history someday.

Awesome finds! And I love trying to find out more about a home’s provenance and prior owners. It’s half the fun of living in these older homes! Sounds like a good winter project to me… :)

In reply to Vanessa. Vanessa! Ha, yeah, Vegas. It was fun to do, once. I still have a cough from all the cig smoke.

In reply to Amanda. Hey Amanda, Oh yeah, paint cans, I def got those. They have been drying out in my garage over the last year.. woof. What is up with the toe tag? That is crazy, and I love the cigarette in the sports cards, too funny. I guess stuff has to be pretty old for it to be really interesting, but it's great that you have all your original hardware and mirrors in the right spots. I think I will see if I can find some mirror arrangement inspiration to guide me. Pinterest, here I come.

In reply to AnnMarie. I'm hoping you'll have an attic someday. I was sure this old house of mine was going to have a lot more secrets in it, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

Dear God please don’t have me go to Las Vegas ever again! I can’t think of anything good about it. Anyway, nice mirrors.

Those are so cool. A big grouping of mirrors would be great, I remember you saying it gets dark in corners of the room (back when you were considering rearranging). I have a condo and i was fun going through the stuff the previous owners left – 26 paint cans (yea, it was a pain going through them), a box of comics from the 80s, a full set of china, and a small box of old baseball & football cards with a hidden cigarette in there (I think also from the 80s ha). Also when I moved in there was a rusty steak knife and an empty toe tag in a kitchen cabinet. That wasn’t as cool. Wish there was stuff from earlier than the 1980s in storage, but at least I have the original trim, knobs, and in-place door mirror from 1928 in my home.

I don’t have any ideas for you, but definitely find something cool to do with the mirror on the left, it’s so pretty! What a find. ^_^ I rent, and alas I have no attic to explore, but someday…
