Hi! I hope that you had a great weekend! Today I’m finally sharing what we’ve been working on (on and off) for the past few weeks.
THIS mirror! Inspired by this amazing Serena and Lily mirror. Isn’t it fabulous!? The main difference, ours costs $15-$20 and the inspiration costs just under $600. If you read my post last week, you probably know what it’s made out of, mat board. My obsession continues .. (see here and here where it started) the possibilities are endless, the best part is that you can make something amazing for just a few dollars!
You know what is also amazing? How David can figure things out .. I suggested this mirror and he was instantly game to figure out the tricky angles. I’ll be working on a post for later in the week with our process. I’m not sure if it will be a full how-to because of the complexity, but it will definitely include our process.
You may have also noticed this campaign beauty (originally shared on instagram).. I feel like I’ve turned a corner painting furniture, so I’ll be sure to share those details too!
Here’s the before. Yikes!
and after.
Finally, I need to get you caught up on our latest thrifted finds. I found this glass triangle display while we were in Florida and this carved wood ball at a vintage fair in Knoxville last weekend.
Fabulous as always, Sarah! Love these transformations! XX jana
On the cabinet, did you polish the metal or something else, so clean and shiny….
Some trial and error, but in the end I liked bar keepers friend! I'll share more details soon.
Can't wait to see how the mirror was made!
That wallpaper is perfect! So summery & bright. Where did you get it?
Hi Michelia! It's wrapping paper from Home Goods!
Love everything!! Can't wait to see the details.
This is amazing. I love it ALL! Sarah, how do you do it every single time!
They both look wonderful. Can't wait for all the details!
Holy cow, that mirror is amazing! Is the mat board strong enough to hold up the mirror or is the mirror mounted to the wall with the mat board sitting around it like a frame?
Thanks Caitlin! 🙂 the mat board sits on top so it just has to support itself .. the mirror is attached to a backer board. I'll post more details soon!
I just don't know how you do it Sarah! I love it, and the savings are amazing 🙂
you guys are an amazing team- that mirror is killer! and love love love the campaign chest!
Wow, wow, wow! I've never had the greatest success w/ good cuts on mat board- i'd love any tips you have to share!

I am amazed with your work. I just barely found it this evening. Did you ever post more details on this mirror. I know it is a couple of years ago, but I would be interested. Thanks.
