Christmas time! I am making all sorts of things for the holidays. One really cool present came from a thrift store trip. I saw this big, heavy mirror. I knew it had potential. I didn't take a before picture (hmph), but trust me when I say it looked ROUGH. I sanded it down. And sanded it down. Then I sanded some more. I grumbled the whole time. I do so hate to sand things. Anyway, in the mean time I had a DIY stain brewing. I poured some vinegar in a big coffee mug and added some pennies. After a few days I started to see the vinegar change color; but only slightly. Day four-it was ready. I put lots of stain on this mirror and I just love the color I got!! It looks fantastic; sort of a blue/brown thing going on. Then I hot glued some twine and rope spirals to the front.
I like the contrast of colors and textures.
