Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
With a little paint, fabric and boa (yes, that's right, a boa) I transformed this mirror into the fairest of all!!
I took a very large oil painting from the 1960's and changed it up several years ago with a brown paper bag treatment. I then used hook and loop, (velcro) to attach picture frames to it. I was getting tired of it and wanted to change it up a little bit. The space for this wall hanging is a dark space so I thought putting a mirror there would reflect some light. I shopped 'til I dropped but couldn't find what I wanted so I made my own.
I just need to finish the top with the boa trim, but other than that it is finished.

BEFORE with brown paper bag treatment....
AFTER..........



You are the fairest of them all!!!!!

Table makeover

I have really been in the mood to change things up in my house. It is probably the nicer weather, but I sure have the redecorating bug!! After looking around my house for a possible victim I chose to paint my end table. It was kind of brown and drab before, so I thought I would try the blue distressed look.
