{new mirror}

Look at what my awesome hubby made for me!! We made a slight rearrangement to our bedroom a few weeks back, and it freed up an entire corner of our bedroom.

Josh said, "What should we put there?" I said, "How about a full-length mirror!" He loved the idea. We don't have one in any other part of our house, and I kind of miss having one. Our cheapy one broke shortly after we moved into this house...I can't even remember what happened to it.  Although, busted glass in the entryway on the tile floor needing cleaned up is suddenly coming to the surface of my mind.

Anyway, so he was working in the barn on a "surprise" for a couple of weeks, and I came home the other night to find this beauty in our bedroom!

I'm absolutely in love with the one from IKEA that costs $125. This one? It cost Josh a total of about $10 because we already had the wood in the barn as well as the mirror!! When we purchased our house, there were mirrors EVERYWHERE...and I mean everywhere. It was kind of creepy, but that's another story.

The mirror that was in the barn was too big, and the glass shop in town only charged $7.50 to cut it to the size that Josh wanted. How awesome is that?!!  Add a couple cans of black spray paint and you've got yourself a project.

We've been wanting to do a total bedroom makeover for quite some time, and I'm so excited that this mirror is the beginning of the process! The new headboard is designed, and hopefully it will be built yet this spring. The dressers are going to get a coat {or 6} of black paint and some new hardware. Heck, we'll probably even hang some stuff on the wall. {Ok, that's definitely happening.}

I want to thank IKEA for the idea, Pinterest for the DIY post that got me thinking about it in the first place, and my super handy hubby who thinks he can build almost anything. Yay for perfectionists with classic style who like to please their wives...you're the best! :)
