A Reflection of the Past

airzinnn writes: This is GREAT!!! We bought a foreclosure and decided to rip out all the long wall-length mirrors in the bathrooms to replace with smaller hanging ones. I got some old, large frames from the Re-Store for $5 and shabbied them up and added the mirrors to the back. I made three so far... two for master BDRM and one for downstairs bath. We still have another full mirror and our neighbors called us to see if we wanted theirs.... uh, yeah! I really love the look of it in the window... gives it such great charm. This is truly, truly fantastic! I'll keep my eyes out for cute windows like those! Posted: 5:43 pm on September 1st

cirlam writes: I only had one great window in my old house. It was in a picture window and it was a long rectangle shape with different colored glass squares around the edge. I kept it thinking I would use it for something, but didn't know what until now. I like the idea of putting the cutter quilt or something like that in it, making it into a mirror or I was thinking of maybe putting some family pics on the back side attached with the clear photo corners. Hmmmm........wheels are turning! Posted: 10:23 pm on August 20th

mamapackrat writes: I, too, am renovating an old home (old in humid South Texas is not old like old is in the northern states). I have 2 exterior doors that I hate to do away with but the wood has seen its better days. The center insert is 6 foot oval beveled glass for both doors. I am looking for some keen ideas to repurpose them in the renovation...circa early 1900s. Posted: 7:31 pm on August 20th

crazymomluvsjunk writes: We bought our first home 6 years ago. It was 100 years old and the windows needed updating. We had a huge picture window in our living room that had a small piece on top and a large piece on bottom. When they took the windows out they asked if we wanted to keep any. The top piece to our picture window was white and chippy and my husband kept it for me. We had to move about a year ago and we took that window with us. I framed a beautiful and unique piece of quilt from a cutter quilt. It now hangs in our living room and it will always be with us. We will always carry a piece of our first house with us. It is a special and cherished piece that will remind us of the house I considered my "dream home". Posted: 2:33 pm on August 20th
