A DIY trumeau mirror…….

 

I recently made this trumeau mirror for the upstairs hallway…..

mirror 7

It started with an old mirror I bought for $27 at an antique shop about a year ago.

I had the handy man attach it to some old barn wood we had on hand

and then added trim and an onlay to finish it off.

I then mixed up a couple of colors with some paint I had on hand and painted it a soft

grey and added a little brown for age.

The whole project cost about $10o and took around three hours to complete.

The wood onlay was the most expensive part of the project.

How did they find fabric to match the wallpaper here?  LOVE it.

A beautiful green majolica collection in a gorgeous plate rack.  I like how the plates are not confined to the rack.  The fabric on the chairs and wonderful polished table complete a great look.

A new chippy ladder…….

 

I found this ladder at a little antique

shop right before Christmas.

I didn’t know where I would use it when

I first spotted it but bought it anyway because I

loved the chippy paint so much.

A

Then one day it hit me that it was the perfect size

to hold towels next to the bathtub.

Hope your week is off to a great start?!?!?!
