Size Matters

I'm talking about picture frames here. 

The other day I was in Pottery Barn checking out the sale section when I came across this nice looking picture frame.

I loved the look and the price, but was hung up on the size, meaning when 8x10 is really 12x14.

I've always wondered if anyone actually uses frames this size on a tabletop or surface that is.

They are so big and in my opinion, take up way too much space physically and visually.

I considered what it would look like as part of my gallery wall.

I was racking my brain about another way I could use it...

when suddenly inspiration struck and I saw it as a mirror on a dresser or vanity. 

I happily paid the $10 satisfied with what will soon become a mirror on my son's antique dresser.
