Mirror, mirror, on the wall.....

Look what I found today whilst browsing at the op shop.
I didn't intend on going in today,
(I usually go in when I do the grocery shopping as it is on the way - convenient, I know!)
but something made me say, "Go on, it may be worth it".
And here it is, this gorgeous mirror all for $15.
Of course, it will be painted white at some stage....you know I hate painting, but this is fun painting, not the boring window frame, wall kind of painting!
I had been looking for the perfect mirror to go in the guest bathroom upstairs.
And, guess what?
(take note of the background...still lot's of painting to be done!)
It will fit perfectly.
I was taking it off the wall at the oppy when a volunteer I know said "Don't drop it"!
I jumped a mile, nearly did drop it and, of course, made his day!
Yeah, ha, ha, very funnny!
Have you made someone's day today?

You got a bargain with that mirror it will look nice painted white. Hope you sorted out your kitchen problems. I had so many problems with my kitchen people but I threatened to take them to court and all was fixed. I would not recommend them to anyone either. Good luck Carol

Fabulous shaped mirror and total steal at that price, can't wait to see now how it looks in pretty shades of white.
