Another project I wanted to try was a mirror makeover I saw on Dawn's blog, The Feathered Nest... The trick is to get an old mirror, spray Easy Off oven cleaner in a random fashion (I chose to do it around the edges) on the side that has the mirror finish, wait about 15 to 20 minutes and wipe off the parts that have been "eaten" by the powerful spray. Then you can have fun decoupaging the back with paper or fabric, so random parts of the mirror will reveal your surprises!!! I really like how it turned out!!!

Hello Isabel

wow, two great projects. They are fabulous. And to think, I passed up two medicine cabinets with mirrors on Saturday. I won't make that mistake again. Thanks for sharing this idea with us.

Fabulous projects, Isabel - they turned out just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I really love how the mirror turned out!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that mirror is really clever. We have just hatched a plan for a whole collection of mirrors on a dark wall in our home, so I could look out for one to attack!
ReplyDeleteI made a stool a bit like your postcard table top and I think they both look great. I used some 1930s photo card cases and was pleased with the result. Postcards would be great to try too!
Those are both gorgeous! Loving the cool mirror idea. Thanks for sharing Isabel!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...fabulous once more. These are so pretty, especially the mirrors. I adore it!
ReplyDeleteI love how these turned out! I might have to try the easy off thing!
ReplyDeleteSee ya soon!
