Now that was a nice long blogging break! Where have I been? I'm not sure; just was having a blogging block in addition to getting a new laptop which I am still learning how to download pictures onto it. Technology is not my thing! I have also been super busy transforming a house for a client as well. Can't wait to show you the before and afters. I have a few new projects around my house to show you. We FINALLY have two bathroom mirrors. I went with my original plan and did barn wood framed mirrors. A friend of mine discouraged me from going with them in the first place, but I know now to listen to my instincts and go with what I love.
Here was the first mirror I chose. It was a chrome swivel mirror from Home Depot. It ended up being less than perfect as far as functionality goes. I liked the look of it, but I wanted something with a little more texture. My hubby did not want this mirror so he was without a mirror for 1 1/2 years while I decided what I wanted....
I custom ordered these barnwood frames from
this website and then used our old mirror inside the frames. We got a great price doing it that way.
My hubby scored the old mirror with a glass cutter then snapped it. It actually made a good clean cut. The frame was ready with brackets to hold the mirror on the back.
I love the texture of the old wood on these frames. It is a great contrast to the shiny black granite on the countertops.
I love unexpected contrast to make a room more interesting. These are here to stay! Our bathroom is almost complete except for the hole in the wall from a water leak, and tiling the shower. Good thing I am patient!
