Today was work on granddaughter’s vanity day.  Affixed the top tiles, decided to glue them down close together, which left exactly enough room to add on word tiles, former fridge magnets for sale, not little guiding lights forever on her vanity. I do plan to grout after 24 hours has passed.

I also marked where the mirror holder goes and there was space left, so I mosaiced it with various tiles I have in my mosaic collection.  I am right now thinking I may do some mosaic glass around the mirror just to make it pretty and different.  I decided to redo the left side panel, which started out to have princess paper.  That didn’t work in real life like it did in my head so I painted the panel.  I may collage both end panels yet, but I have to find my acrylic medium first.  GAC doesn’t get it for this kind of work.

Without further ado, for your dreaming enjoyment of upcycling and passing along old furniture (this was my Mom’s vanity for those of you who didn’t read the previous reports AEDM 15 A Day of BEginnings, AEDM 17:  I Know Better and AEDM 24:  Vanity).
