GW Mirror

I bought this mirror about 6 weeks ago-
Bought it at Club GW-not the outlet
but it was 50% off all home decor-
so instead of $14-
it cost a whopping $7!! score


Picture it-
brown wood
(sadly, I deleted the before pic!)
But, you get the idea-
solid wood, all brown, no variation-

It sat in the back of my garage-

Whenever I passed by it, I knew it was a beauty

and it would be amazing-

I have been on a black/ white kick this summer-

it seemed like eveything I did was either black or white

and this had to be different-

So, what do you think?

I used Country Tan from Plaid

 and Americana's Bleached Sand-

I love the combination-

I haven't decided where to hang it

so I have it propped up in my living room,

I smile into it everyday!!

Well, take care, gotta fly - Claire

Mirror Magic

I'm sure these mirrors are no strangers to you

Many of you probably have them in your bedrooms

attached to the dressers-right?

Club Goodwill was having a sale on them-lol

there were three in a row-

just like winning tic tac toe!

Couldn't leave without them-

Painted one up

sanded it down and propped it on

my staircase landing-

Great last minute check on your outfit

as you head out the door!!

Well, gotta fly-Claire

Mirror Madness

Mirror Mirror

on the wall....

I showed you this fab mirror,

 I picked up at Savers for $14.99-

I took my handy Krylon chalkboard spraypaint

and went to town

Painted the frame a cool white and

voila!

Don't you just love this-

the details on this chalkboard are divine-
It hangs proudly in my kitchen!

Goodwill #5

Yesterday, I hit the Goodwill Outlet Center in town

It's different from the regular Goodwill-

they weigh the purchase in bulk but,

the furniture is priced and it's pretty darn cheap!

I picked up this little round table,

made of fauxhogany for $4.99-

This mirror I picked up at a place called Savers-

It benefits the girls and boys clubs of Connecticut

and I may just chalkboard it to death-

it looks like it would make an extremely elegant one

to boot, all for a whopping $14.99!

I'll let you know what I decide to do

 but in the meantime,

take care-gotta fly-Claire

Here's looking at you!

Big Lots just opened up in my town-woohoo!

It's cheap and has good stuff!!

Cheap being the operative word. 

This mirror has really lovely lines.

It was fine as it was.

But, you know me.

I painted it in Behr's heavy cream.

The same color I used on my walls.

After, I painted, I distressed it abit.

It's just what the staircase landing needed!

Gotta fly-Claire

PS. Can't wait to show you what I've been up to with my "new" coffee table!!

Wisteria

Wisteria is a beautiful magazine-

it inspires and amazes me

every time I get it!

The blue and white pottery

is to die for-

The dressers make my jaw drop-

Mirrors to make me smile-

Garden accents that bring life to you home-

Bird prints to welcome spring.

The decor is what I dream of-

I've  got a big job ahead of me-

 to copy something in it!
Wish me luck and I'll let you know how I do!

Ruffled mirror, part deux!!

So, I have to say,
my white ruffled mirror totally inspired me!

Funny thing is,

 you see,

 I have another mirror
 just like it
in black

 and
 I got itchy fingers. 

 You know what that means!!!!

I need to heat up the glue gun

and

start ruffling it up again!!

 I looked through my stash

and this is what I found!!

I decided to try my own suggestion
and
use fabrics
instead of crepe paper!

I cut the fabric into 3 inch strips,

started in a corner with some hot glue and began gathering and scrunching up the fabric.  I began with the black and when that was completely glued to the frame,

I started with the gingham and glued that on top of the black ruffle.  I make two rows of ruffles with the check- really because it was so cute!!

I added a cute, chunky rosette made of black and white toile with a double rose crepe paper center.  This added the final accessory to the dressed up mirror!

Well, off to make more ruffles-
