Garden Salvage

I took an old door and coated the glass with mirror paint, then I mounted it on my fence. I added some porch poles and bunk bed slats as a frame around the door; decorating it with paint and flower pot finials. I added a decorative piece of steel as a topper and put some stepping stones in front of it. This is my "secret" door to nowhere.

I love to repurpose junk to decorate my garden.

My door is flanked with my funnel planters.

I've gone to Lowes, Home Depot, Michaels, JoAnns, you name it.... and no one has heard of outdoor mirror paint. I did order some mirror paint from Amazon, and it looked great, till the next morning, then came off :(
