Mirror Frame Tutorial
Just like I promised here is the tutorial on how to make a custom looking frame around your bigger then life mirror your builder put up in the bathroom. Are you ready for probably a more detailed tutorial then you ever thought you would need and more pictures then you care to see? Well here goes. Now we are not professional...by any means. After you have measured your mirror to know how much trim you will needo to home depot or lowes or where ever your little heart desires to get your trim. Pick out the trim that you think would make the best frame for you. Mom wanted a fairly thick frame since it is such a big mirror so the mirror wouldn't swallow the frame. So she picked out two trims to pair together. You can piece together a bunch of different trims to your liking. There really is an endless amount of combinations you could make. The pieces come in 16 feet long pieces (at least at Home Depot they do). Be a little generous with yourself on the length in case make a boo boo. And the after!
Dressier Dresser
You guys didn’t think that we used an entire gallon of paint on our new bed, did you? Oh no. We are much too thrifty to let perfectly good paint go to waste. That is why hours after we finished our new farmhouse bed, I frantically walked the rooms of our house looking for something else to ‘brush up’. Then a couple days went by. I remembered the piece that my girl Holly redid that I posted about long ago in an ironic how-to about Goodwill shopping tactics. Looks pretty close to me! But every ugly sister can get a makeover and then turn into the gal that Prince Charming wants to marry forever and ever. Here is how we did it. First, I assessed the situation. It had quite a bit of damage on the sides to the veneer and especially at the bottom. After my assessment, I took off all the hardware. Then I decided to sand the entire thing lightly. I could tell some of them were leftover stickers. Sand sand sand sand sand. Just spray spray spray. Then it came to cleaning it up. Time for priming!
