Pottery Barn’ish Driftwood Mirror

I’ve got another Pottery Barn hack for you all.
A few weeks ago, when we were at the beach, we found a bunch of driftwood… so along with collecting shells, I had the kiddos gather some driftwood for me too.
I took this mirror that I had removed from the living room when I did some rearranging a while ago.  It had been sitting in the hall closet (hence the dust!). I bought it at Big Lots for $1.50.  It originally was a gaudy gold, but it’s been spray painted black for a while.
Then I just played around with the driftwood, trying to come up with the best layout.
This was my inspiration.
Pottery Barn’s mirror is bigger than mine & $150!
Here’s mine…
for only $1.50!
Mine was larger driftwood pieces, because that’s what my beach had.
I just love it!
I put it in my beach alcove upstairs.
Are you ready for summer yet?
Starting Sunday night @ 7pm the Countdown to Summer Party will begin!
I want to see all your summer goodies… recipes, decor, activities for the kiddos, etc… help us get ready for summer.
Hope to see you there!
Linking up to the following wonderful parties:

    that's ridiculously amazing! the driftwood looks great, and i can't believe you got the mirror for 1.50! i don't see any clearance items in my big lots at all anymore.

  7. Cassie @ Primitive & Proper says:

    hi maryann! that was so clever- i love your take on it! and so much better because it has more meaning since you had to gather the driftwood on your own beachy excursions! what a great memory!
