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!
Diaries of a Whimsical Wife
How can you not love blog posts written diary style by a whimsical wife?
Especially when she’s a whimsical wife with amazing DIY talent. Click the links below for more details, tutorials and pictures or to just say “hi”!
She’s turned an old window into a French Menu Chalkboard for her kitchen…
Her kitchen transformation is a rags to riches. Plain to gorgeous.
Here is the kitchen before they bought their home…
Now close your eyes and make a wish … for a beautiful, fresh, bright kitchen. (If only DIY worked that way, they would be less broken fingernails!)
Ta-da!

I love this clever storage solution too (from Ikea). Her lids were sliding off the lazy susan…
