I didn't have time to post this mirror/wall decor before the craft fair and didn't have room in my booth for it until half way through the day so...I still have it. I painted it ivory a LONG time ago and hung it in my hallway off my livingroom but recently wanted to change that wall a bit so I painted the snowflake and added a glaze to the whole piece. I LOVE it even more now!
Soory these pics are of it leaning against my wall but being pregnant and home alone I didn't think it was worth lifting let alone attempting to hang this by myself...it is heavy! I guess you will have to use your imagination or crank your neck a bit. Anyway the hooks look so dang cute with vintage ice skates, scarves, and hats on. I also think it would look awesome above a fireplace mantle in the winter.
So cozy...don't you think? Well, if you are interested in this piece please email me at

Here's a closer look at some of those lines..I want one!
Now that I am about to embark upon my third trimester I think the blog may slow down a bit again...thanks for the patience and loyalty you continually give over and over again :) I still need to do something about a nursery so when that project is tackled you can be sure to see a post!
First, I sanded, primed and painted the bottom half in a bright white paint. Then I distresssed the edges to emphasize the architectural beauty it held. Then, I sanded down the top surface and put a new coat of dark walnut stain on. It's actually still drying in this photo below.
After the stain dried I put on a clear coat of poly to protect the top. I just love the contrast of the paint vs. stain, the dark vs. light! Not bad for $5 and a little time and effort!
Next up a painted antique dresser and new look to an old armoire!
