Repurposed Rustic Mirror Frame

What is your decorating style?  


I've always been a farmhouse fan, and then just loved the modern farmhouse look we used in our new kitchen.


I'm also a child of the 70's so the Boho look had my heart and I'm happy to see that it's coming around again. 


Today I'm working on a repurposed, rustic, Boho frame for an old mirror...



I'm just a mish-mash of styles, I love them all. 


This is a wooden roller window shade that I didn't need anymore.

I've used this shade for several other repurposed projects on Homeroad.

For each of those projects I pulled the slats out of the shade and used the pieces to create something new. 


Today I'm using the wooden slats to create a new look on an old mirror.

I've been redecorating a bedroom in our home, I'm using neutral colors and all kinds of baskets, wicker, and rattan. 


I'm decorating this mirror that has old pitted glass and giving the frame a rustic wooden rattan makeover. 


I began by cutting a slat the height of the mirror frame, I used large scissors to cut the slats.

I used wood glue to attach the slats to the mirror frame.

And then I cut a slat to fit across the top.

I kept cutting slats and attaching them to the frame until I covered the whole frame.

When I was finished and the glue dried,  I sanded the wooden slats to give the wood a rustic look.

This old frame now had the perfect rustic Boho look!

It's going to go perfectly in the bedroom I'm decorating!
