Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...
The shabby white mirror makeover gets me everytime!
I am like a little kid that has seen a magie trick! I love these mirrors they remind me of Snow White.  I found this little gem for $2 at a super ritzy neighborhood garage sale...imagine my surprise when I flipped it over and the back said Made in Italy, enough reason for me to keep it and take something different into the booth. Giggle!


This was my little diamond in the rough before the primping and fluffing at the Shabtastic Beauty Salon...
I unscrewed the mirror from the back and brushed it up with regular old latex paint which is fine if you plan on distressing it, which is what I did with this one.

I found a place for the mirror by my front door.
I am fascinated with wedding veils, and I sprinkle them in with all of the rest of my whites...
this veil kept making its way into the picture...

I loved the shape and size this mirror came in...perfect for nearly every space!

Oh la la! I hope you enjoyed this delightful eye candy!
