So Happy It's FRIDAY!

 I don't know about you, but I LOVE Fridays! It's the end of the week, my Honey is close to being home with us for the weekend and we get to DO stuff! Whether it's just relax, go out of town, work on the house, barbecue, and then of course church....it's great fun! But often too short. Ya feel me?

 So, a couple things. One, LOVED SYTYCD tonight! My favorite girls so far are Melanie and Ryan! What amazing dancers! But then again, EVERY.SINGLE.DANCER.IS.AMAZING! I can't believe the talent this year....the choreography is gonna be impeccable!

 Two, sorry I haven't been able to reveal the sweet girls room! Everytime I want to put the finishing touches on the room, our 22 month old is sleeping in it! Sheesh :) Hopefully this weekend I can get it all finished and filed onto my blog!

 And last, but NOT least, I want to share my mirror revamp with you guys! The before picture was taken at our old house, which was a rental. I wasn't able to do anything with the mantle and fireplace, so don't even ask. LOL

 I scored the mirror at a thrift store for $17.99 I don't know the exact measurement, but from this pic you can get an idea of its size; it's NOT small, and it's HEAVY!



After dismantling it, picking up some cute molding strips and corner blocks, using liquid nails and clamps, my sweet mirror got a facelift! 




And I LOVE IT NOW! 
It's right above our bed. And BOY, do I trust my husband and his anchors, because if it falls, we're goners!

 Love you Honey!

 Happy Friday!!!

    That turned out awesome! Love the idea to not just spray paint something, but to take it apart and give it a whole new border-perfect! Visiting from LollyJane!

    Wonderful! I have a mirror that I've stored for a while now, not knowing what to do with it. It doesn't have a frame, so my work is half finished! Never would have thought to add molding! Thanks for sharing!

    Ooh, I like the new look much better! I'm glad you trust your husband to hang a mirror. If mine had hung it, I'd expect to hear it crash any time! LOL

    I like how you redid the mirror. I feel like mirrors give light and openness to a space.

    What a great transformation! And, your husband must be much more handy than mine. I love him dearly, but I wouldn't sleep beneath anything he hung on the wall without an expert checking his work first :)

    I love the show! One of the dancers from my daughters studio made the top 30. We were sad she didn't make the final show but it was fun to see her throughout the auditions.
