She sat in the garage for all of autumn, because I just didn't have time for her. Once I had decided to keep her, I had to get other jobs done first. Isn't that how it always goes?
The mirror is utter romance. Just look at it.
I love my metal bench reflected in the mirror here.
The age and crackle of the mirror is what sold me. I have not ever seen a mirror on a piece of furniture like this that was this far gone. Infact, it looks even older in person. My photos really don't do her justice to her beauty.
Originally, I purchased the dresser with an oak finish. It was nice and clean, but I'm not that into oak right now, so I whitewashed her in more of a rustic style to blend with my front room decor.
The top trim on the mirror.
And here, reflecting my front room again.
She's going to be the perfect spot for collections and seasonal displays.
