trumeau mirror knock off

have you ever wanted something but it was just not in your budget?  i find myself in this situation most of the time.  i think i have champaign taste and a beer budget, or in my case boxed wine budget.

usually when this happens, if i am too impatient to save for it,  i find a way to make an inexpensive version of the original.  sometimes this works out wonderfully and sometimes not.

i have been lusting after a trumeau mirror for some time, but they are always so expensive.  now of course i would love to have an original french one, buuutt that is not going to happen.  so i am going to make my own.

i love these two ornate beauties.



 but i love this plain jane just a much.




while i am deciding which design to go with, i will be gathering the supplies i need.  will you follow along with me on this project?
