So, I finally ventured to the new thrift store right by my house. I can't believe its been there for a few months and this was just my first visit!! I had a few things in mind when I went looking, but I couldn't believe I actually found one of them, it usually doesn't work out that way on my first try!!
I browsed through the store and nearly missed this beauty because it was hiding behind another bulky piece of furniture. I about freaked out when I found it, it was only marked $12!! I love the gorgeous detail of it and I knew I could make it something fabulous! The best part was that everything in the store was 30% off so it actually only cost me $9! Can we say steal of a deal?!
I brought this baby home, and got right to work. It had these weird metal rods attached to it, I'm assuming that it was a part of a set or something???
I unscrewed the legs, and then sanded this puppy down. I decided that I wanted to paint it white (shocking right??) but I choose a glossy white this time so it would match the other pieces in my living room. I really wanted to get it covered, so I did about 4 coats total.
Here's the final result!!!
Love, love, love!!! Honestly I can't believe this was only $9!!
Here's some close up of the gorgeous detail that I fell in love with.
Oh so perfect!! It's not hung up yet because I don't have all the hardware that I need to hang it up since it's so heavy, but I will definitely get it done this week. I was just too excited to not share it with you guys!
Ok, one last little peak at it!

It's beautiful! I love the white. I got one similar to that for $10. It's been sitting on the garage for months. I think we're gonna paint it black and then hang it in our dining room. Mine is heavy too.. like 50lbs or something!
Love the mirror, and I love a good thrift store!

Absolutely gorgeous mirror transformation... it's just lovely all creamy!
Love the "after" of the mirror. White makes it look so fresh, clean and new. I'm sure it will look amazing on the wall or sitting on a table. Great job. I always love a great find.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. White is the best isn't it?!
