A little paint...

I'm participating in two parties with this post... Susan's Metamorphosis Monday and Diane's Second Time Around. Please be sure to stop by both for inspiration.

I found these two items at the same place while thrifting. The mirror is old, the silver is coming off, and that's exactly why I gave it a second look. The front has a little damage, but with its age, I didn't mind. I also picked up the little box~shelf. I assume it was used in a bathroom or kitchen because of the three dowels attached on the inside.

 

Both the mirror and shelf were in need of cleaning and painting. The cleaning was easy...but because I wasn't sure where they were going in my home, they sat untouched for a while.

Then I wondered if they would fit inside a small niche that is in my dining room. If so, this would be their new home...{fingers crossed}

Yes! They fit perfectly! Now I knew what was next...black paint!

So, they went from tired and run down to ...

Cute, cute, cute!

They almost look like a set, instead of two different pieces.

The knob was replaced with a ceramic one from Hobby Lobby ~ on sale, Yippee!

I LOVE anything "time" related...so when I saw this little "clock face" knob I knew it would be perfect for the little shelf!

I wanted the inside of this little box to house a surprise...hm... I thought about all the inspiring blogs I've seen where scrapbook paper is used in cabinets and it was really pretty! So, that's what I used! It was very easy and makes such a neat little statement!

 I like the fact that this little gem is so versatile. With the door open or closed, it's a keeper!

Thanks for dropping by for a visit.
