Messy Cupboards and New found treasures...

Whats new in your homes my friends? How was your weekend? Last week I have many visits with new babies. It was wonderful. Its amazing how new babies can put life into perspective! I was busy last Thursday organizing my kitchen, what a job that was. It was a messy world in here, but all slowly became organized. I started with the food cupboards and then moved to the "junk drawers". Here are some before and after pictures...

So, i feel accomplished..kinda feel like i'm ahead in the spring cleaning department. Its great!
Another new fixture that I am working on as a project is this old antique mirror.

My mom and I went antiquing last week one afternoon, I was specifically looking for an old mirror and was pleased to find this old treasure. Once I saw it..i new this was the one! I'm not a big antique person, but with home decorating taking a turn towards including antique pieces I thought maybe i'd find some to incorporate into my home.
What do you think? I always imagine the people who would have owned this old stuff. Honestly I wonder what family owned this mirror first? Who were they? What secrets were they hiding? What hardships did they face? I wonder how many women checked their hair and put on their make up to look beautiful for a man? Pretty cool!!
Anyways, I want to re-paint the frame. Not sure what to do with it just yet? I have it up against the wall it will hang on, but I still don't know what to do? Any suggestions?
