A new door....Happy Mother's day to me

Last Mother's Day, my present from Brad and the kids was a door. Yes, a door. AND..... a detailed electric sander!! How many of you had that on your wish list? I was beyond thrilled as that was exactly what I asked for. We've had the door forever, but we just got around to hanging it. And when I say "we" I mean Brad.

I love the look of the paneled doors, so I had brad get me this one at Home Depot. I knew I wanted to do something fun with it, but I wasn't sure yet. I had thought about painting the whole door a bright color, but leaving the inside panels white. But then one day my sister in law was talking about having mirror cut for one of her pieces of furniture, and I thought cut mirrors would be perfect for panels.

I then was browsing a local thrift shop and found a huge bathroom mirror that someone had donated.  I bought it for super cheap, and then took it to Sterling glass and they cut it. I highly recommend finding a cheap mirror from somewhere first if you can because they charge way more when they use their own mirror. Since I had the mirror already, they only charged me $25 to cut all 5 panels.

Brad put the mirrors in using Liquid Nails for mirror. I love it, and I love that it gives the reflection of the other room when I am in the living room.
