Slim picken’s here at Murphy Grace’s home this week. I did start working on the desk that I picked up on Saturday night.
With that in mind, it was off to my favorite paint store, Kelly Moore, to wade through their stacks and stacks of mis-tints. But wait! What was that sitting right outside their door? A big mirror, looks like it might have been a dresser mirror or something.
So I ask Mike, my Kelly Moore connection, what the deal was with the mirror. He says that he doesn’t know it was just there when he opened that morning. Then he says the magic words, “You take it.”
My new mirror, just awaiting transformation.
Mike was really in a giving mood and also threw in a color wheel and a Cabot paints fandeck with my mis-tints purchase. He is getting to know me well, if I was single…….

You know you're in trouble when the people at the paint store know you by name and you aren't a paint contractor! Have fun with that mirror!

There's nothing better than free. Would love to see what you do with the mirror.
I'm impressed...always have a connection to get the best deals. Good for you.

Gotta love free.

Great find, love free.

Mike sounds like a great find!
And the mirror isn't bad either ;)
I bet you will do something fabulous with it. Chalkboard, memory board ...ah I could think of a few things. Have fun!
OHH this is cute! I can't wait to see the transformation!
What a score, can't wait to see what you do with it!
Oh I like that! And you cant beat the price!
It's so great to be a regular at a small paint store. Awesome find on that mirror! Right place, right time :)

Hi there! I just posted your ottoman on my blog! I hope to feature some of your great projects again! Thanks a bunch! :)
Ditto. Can't wait to see what you do with the mirror.
Thank you kindly for stopping by my blog.
I am soooo covetous of your mirror....days past I would have popped out that mirror and used the frame for something else, but I've been experimenting w/desilvering mirror to get that wonderful old appearance of wonderful old mirrors...that big piece of glass w/that wonderful header-ed frame has trumeau written all over her....have fun! Love.
