I SAVED A PIER 1 MIRROR
"COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE...."
i was very happy when i found this mirror in the thrift store i already had visions of what i was going to do...
and the price at $6.96 was great
STICKER STILL ON THE BACK FOR $90 DOLLARS!!
these are the before pictures:
WAS A VERY DINGY COLOR AND ALL THE CORNERS WERE SEPARATED AND
COMING APART. I DIDN'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT AND I DON'T THINK I WOULD
HAVE EVEN IF IT WAS NEW.
WELL I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THE WAY THIS TURNED OUT.. VERY RUSTIC AND DISTRESSED.
AND I LOVE THE WAY THE ORIGINAL COLORS CAME
THROUGH WHEN I RUFFED IT UP WITH SANDPAPER..
THE AFTER:
I TOOK ALOT OF AFTER PICTURES IN DIFFERENT
LIGHTING SO YOU COULD REALLY SEE THE
DETAIL OF THIS PIECE. THE CARVING IS
BEAUTIFUL..
ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS NOW I HOPE YOU LIKE IT..
BORN AGAIN
MIRROR REVIVAL
+BORN AGAIN+
+BORN AGAIN+
ive had this mirror hanging in my bathroom for a number of years and it had seen better days. My fiance wanted to accidently drop it he confessed when he brought it out to me and asked me to redo it.
i loved the mirror but i had to admit it had started to look worn and a little rusty, i guess from being in the bathroom- the humidity.
so here are the before pictures.....
and the after...
much better in the mustard color. i think it will be hanging around a few more years..
its hard to get good pictures of mirrors because of the reflection.hopefully
these do it justice.

A STEP UP - LADDER REDO
i had been looking for one of these old wooden step ladders ever since i saw how a woman had redone her's over
at beyond the picket fence. she ended up using hers to hold wine bottles, i had something else in mind. and there it was, at the thrift store. sometimes...
i think i am lucky. i do find alot of stuff at our neighborhood shop. I think the key is you just have to visit it alot as its always hit or miss. she was mine for $3.99, i could not
wait to get her home and start the project.
before...
shes looking kinda sad
intermediate stage...
and the after reveal...
i added a few numbers to jazz her up a little
i decided that i would use it in my newly remodeled bathroom...
