How can I replace the mirror in my entry to make it more welcoming?

I think because the mirror is such a statement piece, the added pieces make it a bit crowded. Maybe you could warm up the mirror by adding some candle within the pine cones.

Paint it if you can't remove it.

Are you sure it's not just glued directly to the wall? If so, it can be removed by prying it loose but you'll have to repair the wall where the glue was stuck.

I wouldn't add to it. I think taking away things will improve it. Can that structure in the middle be removed?

TAKE IT OFF!!!

Run a bunch of strips of strong adhesive tape all over it to keep the chards in place. pry off the frame. You can do one ot two things:

1: tape a drop cloth against the floor molding. Get a hammer and smash the glass. Wear gloves and eye protection. The stuff that doesn;t drop to the floor is attached th e wall with adhesive that you can now pry safely off the wall minimizing damage to the drywall. This will keep patching to a minimum.

2: If you don't want to smash it, get a small, THIN pry bar and pop off the glass in pieces. You will mar the walls more this way.

OR -

you can just pry off the tiles that are glued to the mirror to make it an even surface. You can then cover the mirror with a nce piece of material with spray adhesive or perhaps some wall paper.

Good luck.

Using "frosted" contact paper for window privacy, cover mirror with layer on sides, across top &/or bottom of mirror if preferred. Find nice scrolling or wandering stencil you like & transfer that pattern onto area of mirror. When design is complete on mirror & you're happy with it, using EXACTO knife, carefully cut out area where you want mirror to reflect, peel away vinyl & you'll have look of expensive mirror. Want bling? Sparsely paint on or lightly glue with thinned Elmer's, white pearlized dust glitter where desired. Keep other decor pieces few & let design work for you.

Easy change any time desired. Little time consuming but not expensive. (Sorry no pics, too many yrs ago)

I did this to an original door with very large broken fancy etched glass insert in it over 100 yrs old. When done, sandwiched design between glass layers to protect it. Couldn't tell it wasn't real thing without very close scrutiny.
