DIY Sunburst Mirror

Check out the sunburst mirror I made using the tutorial from Isabella and Max Rooms... it turned out wonderfully! It is hanging over the "buffet" in the dining room. I am currently looking for a campaign dresser to replace the table that is sitting there now. Still have a LONG way to go but wanted to share the mirror :)



The mirror is from BBB and the bamboo sticks are from Micheal's.

Excuse the bad lighting/picture. I never seem to be home when it is light outside...

Ebay find

I found this great Ebay shop that sells vintage furniture at great prices!

I want this hollywood regency faux bamboo mirror in my bedroom. It would be dreamy in white. ($80)



And this mid-century sideboard would be perfect in the dining room painted or re-stained. ($110)



I submitted a quote for shipping; hopefully it won't be too much.

**Update: So I didn't strike gold. They don't ship to the town I live in. Better luck next time.

Bathroom Before

We are coming close to being finished with the bathroom so I figured I would share a few before pictures so they end result can be appreciated even more. It was pretty bad. If you don't believe me, take a look.





There it is in all its green trim and green wall glory. It is hard to imagine someone would seriously pick out those paint colors.

Anyhoo, here are a few sneak peeks of what has been going on with the reno this weekend:

We added new knobs to the vanities! This is what they looked like before the pretty new knobs...



... and here is after with the new Hobby Lobby knobs. I'd say they look a lot like those high-dollar anthropologie knobs, don't you think??





I also found the mirrors this weekend. I have been looking for a couple of weeks and not finding anything I like for the budget I gave myself (about $50 a mirror). Well, I decided to go to Target to see if they had anything. They did. Let's just say $20 clearance. Yes.



They only had one in the store but luckily they were on clearance online, too. I just placed the order for the second.

I also made a little artwork to hang above the toilet. (Sorry for the bad picture)



Hopefully we will be completely done in a few days once the mirror comes in! Soooo close!

Mirror Inspiration

Now that we have most of the big purchases out of the way in the bathroom, it is time to start looking for mirrors to hang above the vanities. Once we have mirrors picked out, it will be a lot easier to make the final decision on the light (I have narrowed it down to my favorite two). Ballard Designs has so many cool mirrors to choose from but are a little more than I want to spend, especially since we have to buy two!









All of these mirrors are gorgeous! Now the trick is to find something similar at a much lower cost... wish me luck!
