I just finished my bedroom project using a lot of vintage style mirrors…since vintage can be expensive I did a couple of fake techniques. This one is so easy and cheap…it’s not even a mirror! I found this picture at the Good Will for under $2.00…plastic frame and all! I liked the shape so I [...]

I’ve be sequestered to the house for days on end as I finished up my bedroom project. I started this project two months later than I intended because of health issues but finally I’m done!
