One unused broken mirror panel (rightside one) from ugliest dresser ever (FREE). My niece Maya and I were determined to make this a functional but beautiful corkboard for her gray/ black and red themed bedroom. Two coats of black laquer spray paint and a coat of spray varnish ($11.00)
Then we measured out 6 12x12" corktiles we had at the house (FREE)....I was drinking the beer. LOL
Got the corktiles in and staggered the pattern to be covered up by a pretty ribbon bought from the bargain bin at Michaels ($1.29). She used ladybug pushpins also from Michaels ($4.00 for 60/ pkg).
A little hot glue, trimming the ribbons and finishing the top with an M for Miss Maya.....PERFECTION!
TOTAL = $16.29 (YAY us under 20 bucks for one-of-a-kindness) I am showing this off on Metamorphosis Monday! Oh and I am also showing off this fine MOnday morning on a few other linky parties. Check out my sidebar at the top for where :) Have a great week everyone.

ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome and you helped her feel such a part of ownership to it. She'll treasure it that much more. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou really upstyled this one! The two of you did a splendid job, and she'll use it for years. You know, looking at that ugly dresser, what could a new coat of bright paint and some glazing do to make it stylish too?
ReplyDeleteHey Ann, that's the plan....the dresser will be madeover in Heirloom White, those nasty pulls are screaming for a shot of silver.....dontcha think? A little antique rubbing her, a little there.....
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteCool! Thanks for linking up to Mad Skills Monday!
