An Upcycled Mirror

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
