I really needed something to hang behind
the toilet...on the wall behind it!

When you have a small space, one of the thing you can always turn to,
is adding a mirror.
is adding a mirror.
I wanted more than just a mirror, more like a mirror-art-lightweight-high impact-low cost
kind of thing!
Here is what I have
Then rip the backing + frame off the mirror
At first I played around with the shims, to find the kind of pattern I liked.
At this point the shims are still not glued...
Then with wood glue, I added shims in "right-left" pattern, as shown here.
I am going to leave the wood "au naturel" for a fewweeks days, and decide if I want to
stain it or paint it.
I like the character it has!
And you can't beat unique ;)
Cost of this project
mirror $1 ($Tree)
2 packs of shims $1.50 each
(or about 30 shims)
$4 total
Stay Frugal,
Daniela
