Victorian Picture Frame Turned Mirror

While I was at my visit to the Salvation Army, I came across this beauty. To most it may seem ugly, dirty, and just old fashion. Especially the lovely scenery in the picture. 

But I new the potential this frame had.

 Look at all the detail, it's so beautiful. I knew where I was going to hang it. We were in the process of getting a new railing when I found this frame. It would be perfect for our entry way. I had to have it!

It was marked $30.00...Steal.... I was so excited and giddy.

Like a little girl in a candy store.

 This boy looks like he is drowning to me....odd!

I know he is suppose to be drinking the water, but that's not what it looks like at all.

This is the beauty all painted and stained. 

I am loving white lately. So this is what color I painted it.

Just off the subject, when I take pictures of mirrors I wish I was a vampire.

Then that person with crazy curly hair and hot pink fleece would not be seen in this pic....

So much detail.

 The stain brings it all out.
(Again I am a vampire....)

  I am a vampire....

You CAN'T see me. You only see the BEAUTIFUL mirror.

I am so happy with how it turned out.

Victorian Mirror

Okay Sorry I haven't blogged for over a month. I have been CRAZY busy.  All I can say is kudos to moms out there with five kids in sports, dance, piano, ect, ect, and ect...... I only have two kids and I think I have hectic life.....

But moving on. I am going to try my darndest to  keep this updated. This will tell you how behind on my post I am. I got this mirror the same time I painted Carries Black Pantry Door. If you go to my labels and click on black you will find that pantry door. Just don't look at the date.....

On my weekly rounds at the DI aka Deseret Industry I strolling around as usual and come across this baby in the bed sections. I looked at the Price and about screamed out loud and did a little dance. This Monsterous BEAUtiful Baby was a whopping $5.00. I know the mirror alone is more than $5.00. I was uderley SHOCKED and GIDDY.... Thought maybe they miss priced it, but with about 9 stickers on it all saying $5.00. It must be correct. I think the person with the sticker gun was a little sticker happy!

I put this mirror in my cart so fast and it took up the whole cart and then some!

I knew instantly it was going to be a Beauty. I choose to paint it different shade of green. My hubs likes green and well so do I. I call it pukish green, but with stain on it I knew it would be PURRTYY...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........

I put it on our plant shelf to add some light  and because I think it looks cute!

It's funny looking at this picture everything in it (except Raggedy Ashley and Raggedy Brandon who are wearing our own baby clothes) is from either the DI or SA. Can anyone say addicted!

So in these two pictures I changed something up a bit. Because I am addicted to changing things. Can anyone tell  me what it is?

 Okay and I am LOVING the mirror and I am hating how the stinkin Smoke detector is no longer white but yellow. I am wondering while I type this can you spray paint the cover of smoke detectors?

I love how the stain brings out every beautiful detail. I also have a question for my fellow Redo Gals out in the world do your husband like or hate that we(and I mean you and I) Redo things?

Because mine looks at this mirror and thinks it's the most HIDEOUS thing out there..... I know right.. IDIOT......(IDIOT that I love) but IDIOT is what I think when he makes remarks like this.....

Okay it's 12:24 am and I am pooped from the many adventures. 

SO Good Night and Good Day.......

Mirror Walls

So every where you turn on blogs you see Mirror walls!

I love mirrors and how they brighten up a room.

So my mom and I both wanted mirror walls

These are the frames my mom choose.

She painted all her mirrors Rustoleum 2X Spray Paint in Summer Squash.

Then stained them in Minwax Jacob Bean

This is a trick my good friend Martha taught me. Trace all your frames/mirrors on a piece of paper, then place them on the wall in which ever order you choose.

This is so much easier when it comes to hanging the mirrors/frames as well.

This is the wall I choose to do my mirrors on.

I painted stripes to add some character to the wall first.

Come back and check out the finished products for our mirror walls.

Mirror Mirror!!

I am in love with mirrors lately! If I see one and at the DI or Salvation Army I have to buy it.

I found a new home for this mirror. I purchased it at the DI for $4.00. I love the detail in the frame. I spray painted it black! I had the perfect home for this mirror above our kitchen cabinets.

This is her before she was painted black. It's still amazing what a new coat of paint will do to a piece of furniture. I am almost done with the dressors-they are painted and some are stained. I am hoping to have them posted and done this weekend. Keep checking back.

THis mirror is SO PPPERTTY!

I love this color and the detail in the mirror.

(Doesn't the picture in the mirror look like a winter wonderland?)

***Update it has SOLD***

Don't mind my hand. It's complicated to take pictures of mirrors and not have yourself in them. But I did an okay job. Step 2: The mirror is painted.

Step 1: THE BEFORE

My mom found this beauty at Salvation Army. It makes us both giddy with excitement when we find cool stuff like this. Lately I have found lots of cool furnitue with this kind of detail. So keep checking back to see the ReDO's.
