I don't ONLY float in my pool all day!

The other day, I had this half-awake, half-asleep moment of fear. I thought summer was almost over and I hadn't gotten all the stuff done that I wanted to do. I thought, Oh no, I have so much to do and I am out of time.

Well, when I started thinking rationally again, I remembered that I don't have a lot I want to do. I just want to enjoy summer with the kids. Actually the only project I have assigned myself is this mirror.

My friend picked it up for me at a garage sale. Since I trust her taste implicitly and she knew I was looking at mirrors costing in the hundreds, she gave me a call when she saw this. I asked if it had potential. She assured me that it did.

So my project was to paint it. It's probably oak or something softer, whatever it was, it had to go.

The sanding and painting went very well, but apparently I hadn't quite put everything out of the way of the car... I left a can of primer in the middle of the garage. When I pulled in, I ran over it. It kind of exploded! Fortunately nothing was damaged (except the can) and for once in my life, I had bought water-based primer!

Here is the finished project. I LOVE it! It's a creamy white to contrast with my bright, white wainscotting. I'd love to paint the bed too. Maybe next summer.
