Today was a project day. My Hubby gave me a new hall closet and bought a chest freezer to put inside it. I've been so busy stocking the freezer, I still hadn't finished the new drywall or even painted the door. I almost stressed out over how I was going to finish the hall. Thankfully, Netflix added that awesome design show called, 'color splash'.. So I've been marathon watching for a week before inspiration finally struck.
I really didn't want to finish the drywall. It makes such a mess, and then I would have to repaint the entire hall. I get my paint for free at the recycling center, and custom mix it. This was the 3rd time in 4 years that I had painted the hall. I totally love the color, have none left, and didn't want to do it again! So... My answer was to go to the Restore in Plymouth and buy some old big mirrors. My plan was to custom cut the mirrors myself and piece them in around the new closet door.
I bought a new glass cutter and made my first cut on the 1/4" thick glass. I'm skilled at cutting thin glass... I totally screwed up the first cut. So, instead of spending the whole day making one crappy cut after another, I called a glass company. They literally saved me today. Thank you Glass Doctor of Warsaw! I was able to spend my day hanging the glass, cutting trim, and putting it all together. It's now 7pm, and I've been at it since 9am! I painted the new door to match the other hall doors, and started on customization of each door. I actually remembered to take a before pic! Go me!
