(Are you hearing Stevie Wonder in your head? Good, me too)

Oh, do I have some big news for you!!! You may want to sit down (since I know most of you surf the internet standing up…..)

My quest for a fancy mirror is OVER!

That’s right, lovelies. I have found it! Here’s how it went down: On Saturday morning I had the urge to decorate. So I decided to peruse the local second-hand stores to see if I could find something, ANYTHING that I could transform. The first stop was a bust, and I desperately needed caffeine, but I convinced myself to carry on (now I hear Tim Gunn…..) I found her in the “home goods” (I’ll go ahead and use that term loosely) section of Goodwill, buried under a pile of “artwork.” Only the edge was visible, but I had a feeling. Some would call it love at first sight.

Here she is, the current object of my obsession:

What, you don’t swoon over gilded gold? I admit, neither do I, but I had a vision. I knew I could turn this:

and this:

into THIS:

Here she is up close:

You can’t get enough? Neither can I……

The ingredients:

White spray paint

Leftover grey paint we used on the ceiling

Spray laquer

Approximately 3 hours of my Saturday afternoon

The mirror was the most expensive part, at a whopping $10.38. Thanks, Goodwill!

How about you – are you into second-hand shopping? Have any treasures made their way to your home? We know J has been bitten by the Craigslist bug, do you have any transformations to share?

Don’t inhale too many fumes,
