Trash to Treasure--OTP Mirror

I love great finds and repurposing them.  Check out this mirror I got at Old Time Pottery.  It was originally $50.00.  It was in the 75% off area.  I refuse to do math on the weekends, so I took it to the checkout line and politely asked "Can you tell me how much this is?"  After scanning it, the cashier said "$1.68."  Now, even being a Sunday, I know that's not 75% of $50.00.  I pretended like I had to think about it for a while before saying, "OK, I guess I'll take it."  A coat of paint later and Voila!  I can't wait to find my next treasure!



Before.  (And Miss Kitty checking it out)




After. Love this blue.

My first project of the year is going to be to spice up these laptop and Ipad sleeves I bought at Target for $5 a piece!!

Designer in training!



My daughter got a 400 piece (that's right, I said 400) Project Runway Design Center for Christmas.  I think at 7 years old, this girl has skillz!
