Window Pane Mirror Before and After.
Before:
I found this window pane mirror a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale in my neighborhood. ย She wanted $6 for it. I of course knew she wanted $5 but said she wanted $6 so that the buyer would think they got a deal when they offered $5 for it. ย So what did I do? ย I offered $1. ย Just kidding, that would have really been a steal though. ย Would have thrown her for a loop, that’s for sure. ย I really offered $5, knowing all about the psychological mind games that the lady was trying to pull, and of course came home with it. ย Jokes on her, it wasย a good deal for $5.
After:
We sanded it, painted it green to match the dresser that we painted recently, and distressed it although it’s hard to see that in the picture. ย Distressing furniture is definitely a therapeutic release for someone like me that is OCD when is comes to things being symmetrical and perfect. ย I’m learning to find the perfection in imperfection. ย Seriously, you should try it!
I am still not sure if I’m loving the mirror behind the frame or not. ย I think that when I get sick of the green in my living room, in combination with the dresser, it would be great for a boys room. ย Should I keep it separate from the dresser on my wall for now while it’s in the living room? ย I also thought about either putting different fabrics or pictures in each of the panes. ย I may make that change later, who knows. ย For now I’m glad I have one less project on my list!

I really like it! It looks really cute with the dresser. Such a darling color!

Lovety love it…can’t wait to see it for real!
Love the color you chose! So FRESH! I just recently did a Chalkboard Makeover to a Window Pane Mirror that was pretty similar to your before, but forgot to take pics! (As usual! LOL!) Mind if I borrow one? I’ll provide a link back to your site!
Thanks!
