Of course I wanted to find one for a fantastic deal and the goodwill is where I finally found it. Ten dollars later and I was happily on my way home with this.
The problem was how to hang this very heavy mirror so it will be secure on the wall.
That's when these little drawer handles from Anthropologie come in.
And a bunch of 3m velcro picture hanging strips keep it from moving when touched by little hands.
The birds were used as anchors.
A couple coats of white paint and this is what we ended up with.
The birds can be used to hang necklaces or dresses on.
This is the little painting project I talked about last week. It did snow this weekend and now the frame and paint cans are finally out of my dining room!

Kellie,
ReplyDeleteThe threaded screw on the drawer pulls went through the frame into wall anchors. The velcro was used around the frame just be extra safe.
Thank you!
