Yes, I’m making healthier “creative” choices now. I’m UPCYCLING just about everything that happens to pass in front of me. I got on this kick a couple weeks ago when I went to salvage some old barn windows from a friend who had sold his farm. I turned one of the windows into a photo display for my Son and Daughter-in-law for their wedding….
But tucked away for more than a year in a corner of my shop was this….{uh…yes, my toes got in the way}…..
This was once a mirror that adorned our bathroom downstairs. Well…after remodeling, I hung it back up and apparently not so well, it fell off an broke in a gagillion pieces….but I couldnt bear to part with it…to I tucked it away..until today….. I got out the power tools!!! VROOM VROOM!! oh baby….
I sawed off the bottom so it was straight and created an arch in the top….love my jigsaw……… I fixed it all up nice and sturdy with a few nails and then sprayed the frame with Blue Ocean Krylon paint. I love the aqua blue color!!
Then I antiqued it with an english walnut stain, highlighted the raised areas with white and then stapled chicken wire and fabric on to the back.
I found this little doily in my Mom’s stash so I glued it onto a clothespin and adorned it with a button…or three….
Clipped on a vintage photo of my grandparents wedding day….and are you ready?……
{drum roll please………….}
Love love love it….mostly I love the fact that these two people had my Dad who I think is just simply the most awesomest Dad in the whole wide world……
