other than photography

Well I have been going crazy these past few months. grrrrrr. I have been watching this new show that i have falling in LOVE with and his name is the Nate Berkus show. He has been showing me how to re purpose old furniture and redesigning my house. Here is my big first BIG project that i did.

When i saw this i fell in love with it and i REALLY wanted to try this project out. sooo I did with a few little battles with Jim this is how it came out. I'm happy with it. 

Here is the before pic of the mirror.

Thanks to my good friend who had gotten me this mirror.

Thank yooouu!

I took all of the backing off and the mirror. Had to fight with Jim so I can do this. For some reason he does not trust me with sharp things. 

Then i let Jim sand the frame down because he is the big man. haha 

we sand down the dip scratches that were on the frame. 

Here we used lacker to take off the back gray paint off from the mirror to revel the reflective coating. Wax on wax off motion. 

Then we spray paint muratic acid onto the reflective parts and scrub it until we can see throw the glass

 Jim didn't want to share with his gloves. 

Then i had spry painted the frame white and distress it 

then we used mod podge to put the fabric onto the mirror. ** another great idea of Jim's**

Put everything together and am done! YAY ME!
