Mirror, mirror on the wall...

I've turned into Paw Paw and Howard.  Between the painting and woodworking lately, I'm channeling the grandpas.  I didn't take a before picture of my latest woodworking adventure, but here's the blog I got the idea from and she shows it better than I ever would.  We had the same mirror leftover from college a million years ago leaning up against the wall in our bedroom.  I wanted a full-length mirror in our bedroom, but this just wasn't cutting it.  So I made an upgrade by framing it out.  Again, love!

We'll probably hang it on the wall, but I kinda like it propped, too.  We'll see.

We have this dresser we inherited from Matt's room from when he was a kid.  We put it in the guest bedroom because we didn't have anything else that matched the finish, but it didn't quite fit in there, either.  Since this wasn't a family heirloom I decided to give it a makeover in hopes of beautifying it and to coordinate it with the bedspread.  Mission: Accomplished.

Just a normal dresser.  The knobs blended in, but the dresser itself was in good condition and the size fits perfectly for the room.  So I just added a little Peacock Blue and voila!

We have a little cutie patootie on our hands.  It's more turquoise than what the picture suggests, but it turned out really well.  And it coordinates with the bedspread better than I anticipated.  I think this was a success!  Here it is in the bedroom.

And here's the bedspread.  I think you either love it or hate it, but I LOVE it.  And the new dresser matches the turquoise in the bedspread perfectly!
