It’s all about the driftwood. Who would have thought that water-beaten logs could be turned into decorations? My sister-in-law had an idea of making a driftwood mirror and I thought, “Hey, I live along the water. I can get all the free driftwood I want!” Our downstairs bathroom mirror was the perfect candidate as it was completely plain and terribly ugly. So I gathered the driftwood I collected and introduced it my mirror. “Hello mirror!”
I laid out the driftwood to get an idea of how the pieces were going to fit. It was kind of like a seaside puzzle. That’s our dog Dash’s paw in the photo. She was oggling the drftwood, as she really wanted to chew on a piece of it.
Since the mirror was hard to hang, as the mirror hangers would interfere with the driftwood placement, I hung it before gluing the drfitwood on. That, of course, made it a little more difficult to glue the wood on. So I would glue a piece and then use painters tape to hold it in place. It worked like a charm!
And here is the final result. What do you think??

Love it.
I love it! Great job! We just started renovations on 2 of our bathrooms and would love to do something like this. Now, where to find the driftwood!!?
Want me to ship you some! We can go collecting in September!
Great job! I will have to take myself down to the beach and start collecting more pieces as I have an idea this will not be the only mirror decorated in the family!
Really cool!
