Be Our Guest
There's a long, sad story about how the mirror got separated from the vanity, but I'll spare you the details. Anyway, in the sad saga, the mirror fell off of the wooden back.
I didn't need a mirror in the guest room, but saw potential for something awesome using the back. So, I removed the paper that was behind the mirror and began painting the wood with the color Fluff, from the Dixie Belle Paint Company.
Once I had painted two coats of Fluff, I added the phrase, "be our guest" by printing out the words and transferring them onto the piece with graphite paper. I filled the transferred letters in using the color, Caviar.
I added three large coat hooks to the bottom of the piece. The hooks didn't come with screws and the ones I had were silver, so I painted over them with more of the Caviar paint.
I love being able to save a piece from the dump! And, this rescued piece is the perfect addition to my guest bedroom.
