Last week I looked up at my fireplace and said "one of these things just doesn't belong here" and I was right. We had a black mirror above our fireplace and it was too "clean" for the space. So I started trying to figure out what would go and decided that making it would be the best thing to do:) I go my inspiration here and then set out to find the mirror and the wood. Armed with a crazy drive to get things done and a husband that likes my crazy;) we found a mirror at our local Habitat store! It was much bigger than I set out for but FUN! The whole project cost around $40. And for a 41" mirror...that is pretty amazing! I may end up making the frame a little wider some day but for now the change is a welcomed one:)
Next Jeremy cut the frame to fit, more liquid nails and then a few screws to secure the whole thing. There is about a one inch overlap on the frame to the mirror.
And here it is! You can see our next project in the reflection. We are going to take down those lights and install pocket lights in the living room. I can't wait! Mood lighting here we come! Gotta love dimmer switches:)
