It was in the clearance aisle....AKA Amanda's Playground.
Don't remember how much. I think $6 ish.
Brought it to the register. Dude looks at me with a "are you some kind of stupid?" look on his face and says, "uh, you DO know it's broken, right?"
I smiled, "yup!"
He raised his eyebrows, sighed and finished ringing up my purchases.
I find it strangely hilarious knowing he will forever wonder about the crazy lady who purchased a broken mirror.
Maybe he will one day come across this post.
While wearing thick work gloves I carefully took the broken mirror out and tossed it.

You end up with a nicely aged finish in the seams and edges. PERFECT.
Check it out, a fake transom above my double sliding glass door:
SO much better than a dingy gold cracked mirror:

ReplyDeleteNice! Now can you show us where you will be putting it in your house? You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteCute! I think you need to bring some of your creativity to my house and decorate for me. I think I got passed over in the home decorating creativity area so most of my house is in pretty sad shape. (Plus 4 kids doesn't allow me much time to even think of stuff much less get it done!)
