I Have The After Wedding, Monday Blues!!

November 5, 2012 By Meegan 4 Comments

Hello, Hello!!

It has been super busy and really wonderful this past weekend with ALL 7 of our children and all but one of the grandbabies!!  And, now “I Have The Monday Blues”!!  I am so excted to share all the decorating and ideas we came up with for our son’s wedding, but until tomorrow when I can share some wedding pics, I have the blues:

 

The first blue this week is from Shannon over at “Shab 2 Fab””

Shannon said: This is one of my recent personal pieces. I call her Lady Blue Jean.   She was a complete accident…those are my favorites.  Thanks SO much for sharing Lady Blue Jean with me today!!

My next “Blue” is from Grace  over at Kitchen Table Art.   This is very creative and simple:
Grace has the full tutorial over at Kitchen Table Art.  Along with lots and lots of ideas and Blue!!  When you pay her a visit please let her know I sent you!!

My Monday Blue is a thrifted and refresthed mirror I found for $8!!

Love the shape and size.  Perfect for what we need.  I have been looking and formulating a full length mirror in my head for months now.  I thought I would go ahead and just buy a decent one.  No prob.  But I saw this beauty my mind and heart were changed.

This mirror is actually suppose to be attached to a dresser.

This is the space that needed a full length mirror.  Not only did we need a mirror, but that lovely panel in our bedroom did not look so lovely next to our vintage shelf.

So I got to work.  I sanded the wood.  Then painted in with BHG Teal Lake/Semi Gloss.

After the teal paint was dry, I applied antique white craft paint.  While it was still wet I wiped it with a dry paper towel.  
When the antique white was dry, I used a small amount of Ace Hardware’s Hint of Olive.  I brushed it VERY uneven as you can see below.

 

Hubby was so excited!  He took the brackets off for me,  and with a 20 gauge wire, hung it for me!  Now we have a full length mirror!  And our lovely electric panel box is gone, too.

I used a Medium 10 gauge sandpaper to rough it up.  I think my mirror looks great, don’t you?  I am SO excited about this new mirror, I keep walking in the bedroom to take a look.  Because you know, I could be dreaming!!  Yay!  Now when we are getting ready, we can see what we REALLY look like, instead of just from our waist up!!

 

I would LOVE to see your BLUES!!  Email or message me so I can share your blues next Monday!!  I can’t wait to see what you have to share!!   I am also on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk and Stumble Upon.  Come join along with me as I share what I love, and love what I do.

Make it a Blue Monday!!

    Thanks for putting up my blues :) I told you at the beginning that I have a TON of blue! I love your full length mirror, we don’t have one right now which means I stand on our bed to see my self in our mirror above the dresser. Its not the most convenient but it works for now :)
