Mirror Love


(Image from Better Homes and Gardens)

Isn't this mirror gorgeous? I love the way the little
mirrors sparkle and the style
is worldly and glamorous at the
same time. When I saw it, I wanted it.

Turns out it is discontinued and was over $300.00.
I wouldn't have been able to afford it even
if it had been available.

All of a sudden, I had an idea.....
How can I re-work this old mirror?
I have had this for a few years, picked it up
next to the dumpster outside my old apartment.
Score!




I went on line and found little
mirror tiles at factorydirectcraft.com

It still amazes me that you can find almost anything
you want on the internet.
Then, I picked up
this ugly little mirror at Goodwill for $2.00.



A bit of Superglue and they become "one".
I painted both with craft paint and hot glued

the little mirror tiles.
And soon, I had something sparkly of my very own.....


All for less that $30.00!
I know it is not the same but it gives a similar effect.

I think it looks great!


Now we wait for the DH's approval...:}
