Refinished Garage Sale Mirror

 It has been so long since I bought this mirror…just look at my flat tummy!
This was right before I got pregnant...I will be 28 weeks tomorrow
and am really missing my waistline right now.**Sigh**

Okay, back to the mirror.

I bought it at a garage sale for $5 and knew exactly what I would do with it.

I loved that it was a DIY mirror and that the glass was cut in 1980.
It has the date on the back.

I sanded it a little and primed it.
Do you like my canned food stands? Use whatcha got, right?

Then I painted it this scrumptious mustard yellow:)
The color is Solar Fusion by Behr.

…then I painted my face a little.

The yellow was a little bright,
so I busted out the RL Tobacco Glaze and dirtied up the shiny paint job.

  I found some hooks with an oil-rubbed bronze finish at Target and had the husband put them on. I could have done this myself, but I am such a freak with the measuring that I just delegated. I’m learning! ;)

This weekend we finally remembered to pick up some hardware to hang the mirror and my husband hung it up for me…not once, but twice! Yep. I have some holes to fill. The poor guy got it all hung up where I asked him too, only to look over at me making an “I hate it” face. Ha!

So then he lowered it about 9 inches and I was a happy wife!

 

See the hutch in the mirror?

Um, yeah…that’s another LONG overdue project that I am still working on.

It’s not that it is such a difficult project, it’s just that I can only work on it once my 2 year old goes to bed and by then I am so exhausted that I can’t do much. I am determined to get it done soon though! I am only getting bigger and more uncomfortable with the pregnancy, so it’s kinda like “now or never lady!” I’m going to have to COFFEE UP and push through the pain, but I am sure it will be worth it.

It is primed and now I just have to paint and glaze.

Dressed up a little for Christmas…I LOVE the colors together!

Added bonus: I have somewhere to hang my favorite ornaments from Restoration Hardware

that are too heavy to hang on our tree! Boom!
