This Project Was a Pane

 You may recall about a month ago we dragged this gem home from a neighbor's trash pile.

Don't you love when people renovate?

We taped it up and scrubbed it down.

We let a few minor factors determine what would be the front and what would be the back of the project.

Scrape, sand, and prep...

...and then three coats of my favorite Rustoleum Gloss White.

Now let's take the tape off the back and clean the glass really well, like squeaky clean. 

I gave this task to Thom, who had to redo it 3 times. 

So when he swore the glass was perfect, I called in the expert.

Once it was determined the glass was so clean you could eat off of it, we went on to the next step.

Michael's, $11.97.

And let me tell you, it really is reflective!

I used 3 coats, dabbing with paper towels for a mottled effect. Each coat dries in a minute,

so this went really fast!

After an hour we flipped it, cleaned the glass on that side, and dragged it in.

 That hallway is starting to sizzle!

I've always wanted a really large standing mirror, and I think we spent a total of $15 for this one.

Works for me.

As Savannah said, "It's like a doorway into the room you're already in!"
