Hello Georgeeeeous...let's be bold together

Well if you couldn't tell my all time favorite past time is treasure hunting. Some people call this thrifting, junkin, antiquing, or any other term that you can think of; basically this is searching for great items that may or may not be on the curb for the garbage man. This is treasure hunting at its finest, there was a time when I was appalled at the thought of loading someone's cast asides into my vehicle......good thing at that time I drove a small car. Now I have a much larger SUV that I definitely treat as a truck and have been known to load stuff into possibly in heels and a skirt.

Regardless of what you call it, many people overlook some really great finds. So while I was at an auction there was an overlooked gold mirror. I have to admit it was gold 70's style but there was a charm about it. Because we all love an ugly duckling story here is the before picture taken on my kitchen floor the night I brought it home.


The truth is I loved the swirls and the curved edges....I was hypnotized by its beauty. How could you pass up this exceptionally drab gold plastic mirror on a Saturday evening when dinner with great friends would be so much more fun. I was shocked that no one bid against me on this beauty and carried it out with a great vision.






When I first envisioned the mirror it was a glossy white finish but then I got a twinge of possibly making it a turquoise color. I may need a treasure hunting intervention as I have filled my garage with treasures and possibly enough furniture for an entire house.

I was hunting for the turquoise color spray paint....yes I said spray paint....and happened upon a great color called Lagoon and knew that was the perfect color.

I took the mirror out so I could spray without abandon. Which I did on my no longer white patio railing. I do have to say I am glad that I went bold on the color and love the mirror.



I have the perfect place to hang this beauty where it will bring great joy into my mornings. Right now I must make the wall as fabulous as the mirror!

My thought of the day is go bold and don't be afraid to take a chance on something that has been overlooked by everyone!
