Pottery Barn be Damned!

We worked on a small project today that ended up costing about 75$ in wood and stain, as opposed to the $500 we were considering spending at a store that will not be named (except for in the title of this posting). As you can see below, we had previously taken out one pair of sliding closet doors from our now office (pictures soon to come on that room, it is still a work in progress).



We took the lovely brass accents off of this mirror and framed it with 1x8 pieces of pine which we stained a dark espresso color. It turned out nicely I think, and even better is the sweet sweet vindication that comes from saving $400 and recycling hideous old closet doors.




I still love you Pottery Barn, even though you tried to trick me into thinking we had to have an"espresso loft mirror"......A&K: 1 Pottery barn: 0
