A place for me to share my DIY projects, especially makeovers. I love breathing new life into old stuff - giving them an encore performance.

Can't work on the dresser anymore today, so I decided to give some attention to this old mirror I found at a garage sale a few years ago. Its construction tells me it used to be attached to a piece of furniture. The glass is very heavy. Since the paint is so thick, I'm using an electric sander and 80 grit paper. After a couple of minutes, this design began to peak through. It looks like maybe someone tried stenciling at one point. I want to see what the original wood looks like. I might have to resort to chemical stripping.
Update: I'm pretty sure it's oak, possibly quarter sawn. It's beautiful! Photo in comments.

Refunk'd my junk! Tonight I gave an old pair of Converse a facelift with a scrap of colorful fabric. All they need now is a bright new pair of laces.
