As I drifted in and out of my parents house between semesters at college and such, my room slowly started turning into the room of requirement as it started collecting cast off frames, mirrors, bedding and the like. I found these awesome mirrors that my mom had bought at IKEA years ago, with some purpose I'm sure, however they wound up in the pile in my room. I knew I wanted our bathroom to have a Cape Cod beachy feel, so when I saw those lonely mirrors I instantly had this idea of gluing shells to the mirrors. I went to Michael's, and luckily they didn't have larger shells like I had in mind, but these broken shell pieces, which ended up working out way better anyways.
Little did I know what a laborious, tedious, back-breaking project it would be! It took me the whole Memorial day weekend to finish these three mirrors, which took an astonishing 6 hours a piece to do--luckily I had Colonel Brandon, Mr. Knightly and Mr. Thornton to keep me company. Maybe I'm just a little too much of a perfectionist, but each piece was individually chosen for each spot. I know I'm insanely meticulous, me husband tells me all the time.
It's a great touch in our small bathroom, cost me very little and it gives my husband somewhere else to shave in the morning, rather than making me share the other mirror in the bathroom ;)
