Another beautiful old window project. This one isn’t quite old but it’s a DIY inspiration for those old windows lying around – from Holly at Chic & Lovely.
Holly had old windows with plans to add a DIY mirror something easily done now with Krylon’s Looking Glass spray paint or adding a mirror to the back yourself (see Holly’s inspiration here) but she scored mirrored windows at Hobby Lobby for a great price, no work and the same effect. The mirrors add so much more interest and light and at first glance, look like an architectural design:

And After!!
Beautiful living room!
Holly even sent over a complete before picture too:
Again, her after. So pretty with warm neutral tones and so much character (adding the mirrors was less than $100!)
There’s LOTS more to see at Chic & Lovely including…
SO MUCH BEFORE/AFTER FURNITURE – you’ll be inspired to dig around in your basement for something old and forgotten! Or to visit her shop – she gives old furniture a new look!

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful transformations, Holly!

Those mirror windows are great! I just found out my friend has a bunch of old windows i may have to talk her into giving me one 🙂
The mirrors are stunning! Wonderful work, and I'll definitely be keeping the idea in mind for when I eventually move out of my apartment into a house!

That is definitely a very positive add-on! They balance out the fireplace very nicely and help adding extra sparkle and light. A very nice feature!
