As I was helping my mom, we were going through and dividing up what people wanted in my grandma's house. I was very close to my grandma and we talked every day up until she passed so I wanted to take some sentimental items of hers. I ended up taking a rosary, some pictures, four chairs, and a black mirror that I re-purposed for my guest bedroom. Here is a picture of my guest bedroom that I like to refer to as our guest suite:
The white floral bed frame is my childhood bed growing up and I purchased the mirror above the bed (as is) at Restoration Emporium at the West Bottoms in KC about a month ago. I am kind of obsessed with the color coral so I turned the guest room into the perfect girly room that I would have wanted growing up. Since I already had a mirror that I purchased for above the bed, I took the frame out of my grandma's black mirror and spray painted it the same exact color as the mirror above the bed (this happened totally by accident-I went to Lowe's and apparently picked out the same spray paint color that the mirror above the bed was painted). True story!
Here is my grandma's mirror that I re-purposed and displayed in the guest bedroom (shown below).
I think that the empty frame looks nice and in the future I might get a letter "H" for Hamilton, spray paint it coral, and put it in the center of this frame. I find it interesting how this black mirror that my grandma picked up at an estate sale could be transformed into such a great piece for my guest bedroom. I really feel that I gave this piece new life by re-purposing it!
