Mirror furniture are back! If you have browsed through some of your local high-end furniture stores, or if you been at Pier 1, T.J. Maxx, or even Ross', then you have seen the mirrored vanities, coffee tables, end tables, and night stands. The problem with those pretties is that the mirror pieces easily get damaged. One time of accidental bumping into the said piece can ruin your entire investment since these furnishings will cost you a pretty penny. So why not make your own? Except you want to use small pieces and use the mosaic technique. This way if one of them get damaged, you can either life with it (since it want be so noticeable), or carefully replace the damaged piece. The picture above shows one of the two closets I am working on. I have to finish the other two closet doors today and then the adhesive needs to dry for 48 hours before grouting. After that, I wills sand and repaint both closets.
Also, I made a Walmart trip yesterday, because I ran out of Mirror tile, and I was surprised to find that the prize for a 6pack of 12x12 mirror tiles are only $ 8,54.- rather than $ 9.99.- which I had quoted you all yesterday.
Here is another example of what you can do with mirror tiles. I my youngest daughter's bedroom- some 'free-form' walart with which she happily helped. Tomorrow I have some more to show you. YES, I am a sucker for mirrors ;)
