Upcycling mirror
Hello!!
One of the upcycling project from my last trash-to-treasure trip is now done! I am talking about the wonderful mirror I mentioned on this post.
Remember? It was a nice and red beveled edge mirror in a very good shape. I did experience the Annie Sloan chalk paint colorways with white and dard wax patine on the top. I am now so happy about the result even though I wasn't at the beginning... Well in fact I was pretty scared with all that mixed colors giving an untidy and no-sense result! However I increased a few tones and the wax made the rest.
The mirror is now fixed on the guest toilet wall besides a little spice container I have since ever and on which I applied the same technique.

Upcycling outdoor entryway
My entrance door was looking miserable. I didn’t really take care of it for ages and I actually don’t know why because it’s the first thing you see when you get into a place. Anyway I decided to seriously deal with it and turned it into something magnificent and welcoming.

From trash to treasure!
This is exactly what I maintain many times when I am asked about my repurposed pieces: "From trash to treasure".
In fact this is a thanking post to all people getting rid off their old-fashioned furniture and junk stuff!

Building works are probably carried out in my neigbourhood as I rencently found a big-time stuff when I went to throw my trash away: I could not take everything with me but I could choose the items I liked the most, ie: large vintage mirror, 4 kitchen cabinet doors, a not-in-very-good-shape Ikea stool and a lamp! I know I can do something nice with them. I came back the following day and there was another mirror, older than the other one and probably made in India... Treasures...
