Do you remember the retro mirror I spotted in a local charity shop window but baulked at the price tag of £10, back at the beginning of March?
Well, I went back all these months later and it was still there, on the floor, in the corner, under a pile of plates …………… but this time marked down to £5, how often does that happen in a charity shop …..?
Well, I was at the counter before you could shabby chic! I don’t have a clue what to do with it …. but I am going to take Marc’s advice and just hang it in situ for a while and see what comes to me …… to be honest, all it really needs is a bit of a rub down and then just needs a couple of coats of spray paint, but a more “on trend” colour and leave it at that ….. why over egg the pudding of a design I just love?
A real bargain.
ReplyDeleteMade up for you Helen. Nearly bought you one of these at a boot sale recently. It was badly painted though very thickly covered and overpriced! Glad you got it! X
ReplyDeleteWahoo - result there girl!! Yup, a rubdown and spray will be perfect - snigger, with perhaps a gem or two in the centre of each flower? I dare you not to add gems Helen :) Confer with Marc!
ReplyDeleteI worked for many years on Saturday afternoons in our local charity shop and we had to be ruthless about moving stuff on so had half price reductions on a monthly basis and after a further month it was (sadly) binned. So glad you rescued your mirror - it was destiny!
Hugs, Di xx
It was meant for you. Its so lovely. x
