I was most inspired by Carolyn Westbrook's book The French Inspired Home. I had a whole post about it here. In her book Mrs. Westbrook used a mirror as a tray and I really liked it and have been wanting to try it. I found this mirror with a very nautical look and thought I would try it.
I gave this mirror a makeover in this post. I found this mirror at the thrift store on clearance for $1.

I LOVE IT Sherry!! Martina
I love the shells and candles on the glass tray.
Decorating with shells is so appealing to me~
What a pretty display. ~Theresa
Lovely! Your mirror with candles is so pretty, and adding the shells is such a nice touch!
Gorgeous job! ... atray was my guess ... but I didn't voice it outloud, so I guess it doesn't count ; ) ... really, really pretty ... and seashells are the perfect touch!
thanks for sharing at Voila!

Hi Sherry, The mirror turned out great and I love how you are using it as a tray. The French inspired home is one of my favorite design books. Hope to see you at my new linky party starting on 3/17. Take care.
Hugs,
Sherry
Sherry I love to use mirrors like this. Amazing the white paint on it and adding the candles and shells...its gorgeous!
Hi Sherry, that beautiful design, perfect combination, because as you said the mirror with nautical details, such as the rope will go perfectly with the candles in that color, and details of the sea. Greetings, Rose Marie
Beautiful post. I love shells and mirrors. I have a similar mirror, so I think I better get busy!!! ~~Sherry~~
Sherry,, That looks so pretty! You are a very creative lady and a great photographer!
Blessings, Beth
Hi Sherry!
I like this look. The shells coupled with the soft candle-light makes for a very ethereal ambiance.
The mirror turned out great as did the entire arrangement. Candles & shells on the mirror, very lovely!

I love it. Now need to find some large seashells so I can make me one. Just so romantic too. I love candles.
Great pictures, now I want to go to the beach, the mirror is just fabulous, I like how the flame from the candles reflects from the mirror.

The mirror you chose is perfect for the shells. I love the shells and candles together.
