This was an old mirror with a spring Currier and Ives scene that was water stained. I thought it needed a vintage white makeover.
I love how it came out, do you? Thank you Karen at The Graphics Fairy for the fabulous french advertising image.
I intended this piece to go to the shop but loved how it turned out so I thought I'd see how it would fit in my nest somewhere, first the den...
No...perhaps in the bathroom...
No, maybe in the hall outside the bathroom...
No, what about in the living room on the mantel?
Definately not there...I can't take away my favorite mirror! Maybe it will look good in my craft room...oh and look at this painting isn't it to die for! It was my Mom's!
I do like it there but I decided that the frame is still a bit too country for me so off to the shop it went!
I finally remembered to bring my camera with me so a post on my booth at The Wrentham Country Store is coming soon!
I'm sure you all know the beautiful Anne and her fabulous blog Fiona and Twig! Well she was kind enough to feature my blog and Etsy shop in her post yesterday!!! Thank you so much Anne!!! She has a huge following and so many of them stopped by my new little blog with the sweetest comments. Please visit her blog for amazing photos (love her booth shots), and wonderful tales (she writes from the heart). Don't forget to visit her Etsy shop too...you know she made the homepage!!
Thank you to Kathleen at Faded Charm for hosting my favorite day, White Wednesday so I could share with you my old mirror makeover.
Love what you did with the mirror...a trumeau type thing! Looks fabulous! HWW
ReplyDeleteThe mirror makeover was fabulous. Perfect use of that french graphic! That will be sold and out of your shop before you know it!

Great job on the mirror--looks wonderful! Blogging does change the way you look at things, doesn't it? It's so fun when you see something that excites you & you can capture it...if only you have your camera! I'm trying to remember to carry mine along with me more often!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful day today!
Sandi,
ReplyDeleteI didn't see on Fiona & Twig, but I will go looky see. That mirror makeover is the BEST! You are quite clver. Did you send that to the fairy for her to see? You have given me a great idea for an old family owened laundry scrubber thing. I'm going to do that and link back to you post if it's okay. Lisa
PS Thanks for the nice comment yesterday.
that little ol' mirror went from ho hum to tres, tres chic!! i LOVE it! thanks for the inspiration...i will be on the hunt for a similar one to transform into french loveliness!
ReplyDelete~*~*~*~michelle~*~*~*~*~
Love your mirror transformation. It will sell in no time!
ReplyDeletelove the mirror make~over. I think we all do that...make something and love and become attached to it.
ReplyDeleteI just tea stained a baby bonnet and added ribbon and old millinery and I intend to sell it but I am in love with it~lol
Great, great, great stuff! I LOVE the way you did the mirro make over. One of the things I like about so many of us using vintage stuff in our homes is not just the "addiction" we all have but the recycling part of it! Again, thanks for the eye candy!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Sandi I love the mirror! You did such a fab job in it. It won't stay long in your shop! I love the post you did on all the beautiful vintage jewelry. you have wonderful pieces in your stash my friend!

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy my friends came by to say howdy, you have a great blog and great style. :-)

ReplyDeleteOh Sandi..I love what you did with the mirror! I too, turned a garage sale find into something new this past week. Our choice of a Graphics Fairy designs were different, but our concept much the same.
ReplyDeleteI just found Karen's images two weeks ago..and I've been having a blast trying to come up with new and creative ways in which to implement them into projects.
Again..your mirror is lovely! The white paint truly brought about a completely new look to the piece.
Blessings, joy and sunshine, Terri Smith
