Refurbished Mirror

I decided to see if I could use my old mirror from my bedroom set. I thought it would make a great art piece, I was right they look really good. I did a paint and glaze to get them to look like this, but what a transformation. I only used the two sides, but I am sure I can come up with something to do with the center mirror. Maybe I will use it in a different room. I was hoping for a sucess story and I got it. I would do this again.

Headboard Complete

Before

After
Okay we have made progress the headboard and bed are complete. Earlier I showed a picture of what materials I used to make the headboard now I am showing you the final product. I think this project turned out better than I expected. This was something new, that I haven't tried before. So here is the process. I took plywood and stapled batting over the 4x8 sheet, then I came back over the batting with the material. In this case it was blanket, I stapled the blanket over the batting and rounded the edges to give it a finised look. Then I purchased some z clips so that I was able to mount the headboard on the wall which provides more space in the room.
