With him spending what ended being the next 24 hours on the computer, mom and I went out for a little resale and thrift store shopping. At the first store, I found my biggest score of the day....
I had been wanting a large floor mirror and were just about to leave when I spotted one stacked up behind some others in a corner. We dug it out and noticed how banged up it was. On the bottom was a big split in the wood; but I was planning to paint it black anyway, so I could deal with the nicks. Now I needed a price. I flagged down an employee who had to check. I was thrilled when he returned to tell me all mirrors were $5. SOLD!
The color was actual a nice rich mahogany, but with all the damage I was not about to put that much work in to keeping it's color. Black paint, here we come!
A little wood filler, some primer, a can of black paint and we have....
After spending some time in the garage on the mirror, I came in and spotted these little stinkers out the back window. You can't really tell in the picture, but I am thinking they do this often as they were some chubby little squirrels.
I am so jealous! I want one for our dining room but haven't looked around that much. $5?!? I cannot believe that! Great find.
