Y’all, I have been coveting this Ballard Designs Sunburst Mirror for what seems like ages. At a price tag of $99 plus shipping, I have tirelessly stalked the outlet to no avail.
So, imagine my delight when I spied Mother’s $25 knockoff version!!
When she said she’d help me paint one too, we couldn’t get started fast enough! All you need is this mirror from Target and a tube of Gold Leaf Rub n Buff (which she already had from her project.)
Don some plastic gloves and give it a good coat of rub n buff. Just squirt a little out on your finger and go to town. I’m not sure if it will stay here in the guest room, but it’s the only place I could come up with for now and no way was I sending this beaut off to the bowels of my closet to never be seen or heard from again!
Happy crafting, y’all!
xoxo

I’ve had fun getting creative with them over the years…like Rice Krispie Cupcakes and the King Krispie Cake…and these patriotic Red, White & Krispie Treats… Read More

Two sweet bloggers recently awarded me with blogger awards… To accept the awards, there are a few simple steps to follow… (and I’m probably cheating by combining all of these into one but I figure you really don’t want to know twenty-one random facts about me if I were to do this three times)… Read More
4th Annual 4th Celebration
After a long afternoon at the pool and a few too many snow cones, we celebrated the 4th of July with our 4th Annual Low Country Boil and Fireworks fete! With rain looming in the forecast all week, I didn’t put a lick of effort into this party. Just good food, cold beverages, all sorts… Read More
