Mirror Makeover Madness

Back in June my friend and I were in her car taking our girls to a swim meet when something caught my eye & I yelled, "Pull over, pull over NOW!!"  Seriously...I almost grabbed the steering wheel.  Why?  Yard sale.

What?  You've never pulled off the road into someone's front yard and jumped out, running full speed, before the car was completely stopped?  No?  Just me?  Mmmm-kay...

I spotted this mirror from half a block away & knew it was going to be mine.  I didn't have time for chit-chat or haggling...I  had a swim meet to get to!  How much?  Five dollars?  Sold!  I was back in the car with my new mirror in under 2 minutes.  And that, friends, is drive-by yard-saling at its finest.

I love this mirror.  It has a chunky design, great detail, and cost me only five bucks.  I had 43,782 ideas for my new mirror before we even got to the swim meet that day...but it sat on my fireplace mantel as-is for the rest of the summer.   It worked...even in its decidedly shabby chic style.

Now it's October and the freshness of white, yellow, and sea-foam green doesn't quite work.  I need to cozy up the place.  My once shabby-chic white mirror is now...Joker purple.  No joke.

I'm reeeaaally trying hard to embrace Fall this year...so here's my take on it.  The first of many looks of my mirror.
