re-purposed friday {an old mirror turned fabulous!}

HAPPY friday...

HOORAY..we have the SUN SHINNING here in MN, it is a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

...and i am super EXCITED to say it is OFFICIALLY garage sale season...WOOHOO!

i've picked up lots of goodies that need a little tlc & can't wait to show you them after i have updated them...

BUT TODAY i have another item that i repurposed inside Vintage Glam boutique.

the shop had a BIG lovely mirror

already in it when i took over.

 i wanted to keep it and it was too risky to try to remove it from the wall so we just left it where it was.  but at the same time, i just couldn't live with the GOLD framing that it had. 

check it out below...

{not so pretty}

we {my brother & i} just got some cheap base boards {not sure if that is the official name of them, but you know what i mean, right?} and when i say cheap, i mean really CHEAP! i only needed two strips and they were on sale at mendards for just 99 cents each...YEP, you heard that correctly, just ninety nine CENTS!

i had originally wanted a very extravagent ornate molding but after we saw these pieces, i figured we'll start out with this and i can always update it again later. 

how i did it...

i just painted the 2 strips of baseboard in an antique white color & then distressed them with sand paper & stain.

my brother cut them to fit and we adhered them to the mirror...right over the gold one.

SUPER SIMPLE, huh!  :)

i also added in the vinyl chandelier...fits Vintage Glam just perfectly!

it isn't a PERFECT frame...but it's imperfectly PERFECT for Vintage Glam!

i hope you have a FABULOUS Mother's Day weekend...

ENJOY it with the one's you love!

xoxo,
