a new, old mirror

i picked this mirror up at the habitat for humanity re-store this summer trying to do my part
to reuse and recycle the world's crap junk...

 it was hideous.  seriously, who would have this......

in their house?  a woman was hauling this out of her car to donate when i spotted it.

she took $5.00 for it....

i was horrified, yet strangely fascinated at the same time.
  

then i was horrified again when i saw the big crack in the frame.

well, a little bit of glue and my

very best friend, heirloom white...and....

hello, gorgeous

please ignore the crack in the driveway....we had a crappy builder...

(what is with that face??? is that how i look when i take pictures??  i'm surprised kids smile for me at all!!)

another piece rescued from fugly
and
from 70's sick to shabby chic...

then, i saw this on someone's blog

a very close match to my little redo project.
the price tag on that mirror???  $65.

score!!!
