Have you ever had a piece that had several lives? It just kept changing? Such is the case with these mirrors.
I'll take you back to the beginning...
In the beginning, there was this.
I primed them.
And painted & distressed them. And they sat.
Then a dear friend saw them & loved them. Only she wanted them in the same color as the Aegean Blue Dresser (here's a reminder)
I aim to please, so this is what I did.
And I think they look fabulous!
And, funny thing ~ since my friend 'claimed' them I've had two other people try to buy them. But not a single taker before that :)
Don't forget, if you're local, the Holiday Shopping Spree is Wednesday & Thursday of this week. I'll be there in the role of "Elf" (aka helper/go-fer/volunteer!) and I would love to see you!
Thanks!

these are just beautiful. This last color is the exact shade that I'm hoping to paint my massive old Schrank. Someday you may see it on my blog page as a finished project! -diane
ReplyDeletethey turned out lovely- they would be great in a bathroom with a double vanity. and yes, i do believe they count as furniture. ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny how that works huh. I have had pieces that I fell in love with that sat and sat. And pieces that I thought - hmm okay and they were gone in a heartbeat. Ya just never know!
ReplyDeleteThe mirrors look great, I really like that shade of blue!
