Thrifty & Chic: Mirrors
September 30, 2010While packing I've come across a few things that I've had good intentions for. I may end up keeping some, but it's likely I'll be purging most of them thanks to the TV series Hoarders. That show makes me want to clean & purge practically everything I own. Among those items is this mirror. It's an okay mirror, but it definitely needs a face lift & surely has a '90s country cottage feel to it. Let's be honest, my mirror thrifting abilities pale in comparison to Kami & Susan.
This lovely thing was $3. I bought it with the intentions of fixing the chipping white paint & hanging it in Penelope's room, but it just didn't work out. I think for our new place I'm going to paint it some sort of orange or brown color & add hooks below for our keys when we walk in the door. I'm also thinking of making a basket to go up top the shelf for filtering mail. What are your thoughts?
As I mentioned before, my thrifting weakness is mirrors. I can't seem to find any good ones. I have great luck with shoes, belts clothes & most furniture, but not mirrors. Is there something that you've shopped for that you've never managed to find? I want to know that I'm not alone.
