Ever since seeing the post by Kim over at Saavy Southern Style where she added a burlap backing to her bookcase in her sitting room, I have been wanting do the same thing to one of my bookcases. You can read about Kim's project here.
After refinishing my closet mirror, I still felt like it wasn't being showcased very well against the painted wall. It just looked like it was missing something.
So, I cut some cardboard to fit the space and covered it with some burlap that I had.
Ha! I didn't even burn myself using the hot glue gun!
And here's how it looks now ...
Here's the metamorphosis of the space ....

It looks complete now....that is awesome, those final touches always make the difference. WOW, I can't believe your daughter started college...you are right though she is going to do great...you and your hubs do a great job with your daughters...teaching them all the rights and wrongs, and wrongs again!
ReplyDeletePam, that looks much better and thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. I love Kim's too and yours looks wonderful. It really does highlight the mirror and your accessories better. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love it, love it, love it!
ReplyDeleteI have an old gold mirror like that, which I am tired of its looks! Now that I am sure this new color looks so good, it will be my next project around here. Thanks so much!
I agree! You got it right! Great job! I LOVE this project! Your mirror AND the burlap!
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteWho knew burlap could look so elegant!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteI bet you could even use little pins to stick into the burlap to hang more necklaces too?!
How pretty, I would smile every time I looked at this :)! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! I love your jewelry display!
ReplyDeleteThe shelf looks complete with the background finished. And your mirror really turned out nicely! A lot more interesting than gold. I'm in the midst of a mirror painting project myself. I also have two of the little vanity tray mirrors like yours to spray paint ORB. Gold- be gone! LOL

Wow, I love it all- the glazing on the mirror, and the burlap! I think I'll have to put this in MY inspiration files. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteComing from Tickled Pink... LOVE your little nook mirror space. I've never used burlap, but I might just give it a try in my closet.
