Looking Glasses





I go to a lot of sales, and every estate sale,tag sale,yard sale and
thrift shop always have at least one big old plastic mirror from the
1960s and 1970s. So I started looking at them a little closer. Yes they
are mostly faux wood grain brown, and of painted white rubbed with gold. Yes, very
ugly...But... Try looking a little closer the next time you see one.
Some times the detailing is pretty neat, and if you can picture it
hanging in your space in another color. Well, BUY IT!!Craft paint
can change the look, and you can pick the colors. The other great thing
about these mirrors, you can usually pick them up for a $1 and the size
of them, they are quite large. Painting them is just like paint by
number so give it a try. It is alot of fun.

Dona...I was wondering what you did. I love the way you re-did both of the floral mirror frames..Linda
