I have an old mirror that my kids had made out of the bathroom window frame in a house I was renovating. I have moved, so I decided to make a driftwood seahorse on the glass mirror and ad different seashore finds around the edge. I think there might be pictures of sea shore drift wood characters on Pintrest.

Collect an assortment of shells and beach glass and glue them on to the mirror.

You could sand it down to bare wood and age it with steel wool and vinegar. There's a tutorial right here on Hometalk. http://www.hometalk.com/diy/living-room/furniture/upcycled-coffee-table-8706995
