Last summer I went to an auction and found three big mirrors for less than $5 each. I think I paid $2 each. One was in great condition and is now sitting on our mantel. It's framed in a pretty wood. The second is framed in plastic and may get a paint makeover at some point but it's hanging up in Lily's room. The plastic color matched Lily's trim perfectly and she loves her mirror. The third is a completely different story.
The mirror was huge though and I could see potential. Really, though, how can you go wrong with a mirror for $2?!
Then the mirror sat in our junk room, waiting for it's makeover. I wasn't sure what to do but I knew that the frame was chippy and needed replaced or removed.
I chose to remove it. My chisel and hammer were all I needed. And some elbow grease. And time, but I had my buddies to help me...

| See the cracks? Yeah... not pretty. |

| After I removed the two rows of broken stuff. What's left over was nearly impossible to remove and will be covered up! |

| Some stuff just wouldn't get off, but that's ok because it'll be covered up. |
