I was in need of an accessorizing mirror for the bedroom. This perfect size was found at Savers for $2.99.
I had never been to a Savers before but there is 1 nearby conveniently on the way to Home Depot (a store we frequent these days). I was amazed by some of the fantastic second hand goodies and super low prices!
Since our bedroom is very white and beige I started by painting it white.
I still had no concept in mind but thought about using these materials.
These are grandma's old clip on earrings that I never got around to posting on eBay. This idea turned into a failure with the decorative metal pieces though since I think I was using the wrong adhesive!
Determined to not make a trip to the craft store to buy more stuff, I foraged around the house finding this natural rope used as a border.
Then I added the vintage earrings!
It is not perfect, but I love how it came out and that I was able to show off the old earrings rather than passing them on to a stranger. The bonus was it only cost me $2.99!
You can see our bedroom chandelier in the reflection which we will sadly be replacing with a ceiling fan light fixture soon. Unfortunately comfort is more important than beauty in my world!
Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you a beautiful week ahead. ~Val
sounds like a great store to pop into now and then. great find and nice way to display her earrings!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it, Val! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job! Love the mirror now.
ReplyDeleteThis really turned out wonderful, Val!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea, and work.
Its so beautiful,i love your addition
ReplyDeleteI love your upcycled mirror! Your grandma's earring give it the perfect touch...and the price couldn't be better :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Val!! I love it!!! $2.99 and lots of passion from you! So happy you kept Grand-ma's earrings! Too bad about the chandelier, but I understand! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's genius Val, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteA flower mirror - how cute!!! I'm sure it will make you smile everytime you see it :)
ReplyDeleteYou could hang the chandelier in another place for decorative purposes!
Wow, what a fantastic idea! You did a great job and this is for sure unique . Bravo! Have a beautiful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool re-use of old clip-ons! Do you feel like you're sleeping in the Palace of Versailles beneath that chandelier? LOL! I can see why a ceiling fan would be more useful though.
ReplyDeleteI love finding a good upcycle ... and this one worked out perfectly! love those old clip ons - I have a few from my MIL I still need to figure out what I will do with
ReplyDeleteYour new mirror turned out great! I love how you were able to use pieces to decorate it that you already had on hand. A $2.99 mirror...score!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! It looks great! I'm finding myself hitting the second hand shops more myself. You find the best things there! I agree about the comfort factor. The chandelier does look beautiful but on those warm summer nights, you are going to want a fan! You can find a pretty one that will fit in nicely in your bedroom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful!

Isn't it funny how often you go to the hardware store as a homeowner? I went to Lowes AND Menards yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThe mirror looks great! High-five for a thrift score!
I love what you did with the thrifted mirror. Beats paying full price for one retail :)
ReplyDeleteI think you've done a great job on the mirror, it looks beautiful. And I like how your grand-moms earrings adds a bit of family history. I am in the middle of a total home renovation and always looking for new ideas, tho. Happy Thursday, Val.
