WOW!!! This is a Pat-Tay if I have ever seen one!!! HELLERRRR!!! Party like a ROCKSTAR!!!
And its MY TURN to Hostess...Yippie Skippie! WooooHoooo!
So...SUMMER themes Ladies...
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall...WHO'S the Summerest of them All....
{ OK...I KNOW...Summerest ISN'T a word...But, you make it WOOORK ...I had to make it work in the "Phrase" ya know...
So, I found this mirror that I have had since my College days...Like, a couple of years ago { HAR! } and as an Interior Designer, I use mirrors as "Windows" in spaces that need to be "Opened up", so WHY NOT make the mirror FULL ON SUMMER LOVIN'? So here is what I came up with to give a Punch of Summer...READY? Here comes the picture FLOOD!!!
Please forgive me...ahead of time...Im POOPED from moving my store { NEVERENDING } and it is almost 2 am and I am going CROSS EYED and I am officialy BRAINDEAD...so, im going to let most of the Pics speak for themselves...
This mirror was U-G-L-Y, ugly, UGG-LY!!!
UGLY!!!!!!!
Redo the back with butcher paper...then set wire
I chose Butter yellow Peonys, with chocolate tulle....
and some bright, happy greenery...
LOOOOOOOOOVE all these colors together...
Lay it out as per your desire...and HOT GLUE all your florals on...
And, VOILA! A Summer inspired "Window"...
Hang your mirror where you need to open a space...
OR...use it as a centerpiece on a table...
OR...use it as a Tray...a beverage tray...
AND...adult beverage...It would be BEAUTIFUL as a tray on your patio table...{ NOT mine right now...I am in West Texas, with that dirt...Eeekkk! A tumbleweed might get blown up on my "Tray"
I am CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY about this!!! A PERFECT Summer DIY project!!

I like it best as a centerpiece for the table. It would look so glamorous with crystal and silver candlesticks reflecting atop the mirror.
I just joined you as a follower, Kara and hope to visit again soon.
