Mirror, mirror....

 

Delivered this beauty today!  I posted about the bottom part of this piece earlier in the week.  I wanted to just wrap up about this piece.  

First, I am SO glad we decided to go with the stained top of the buffet.  With the hutch on top, it just adds so much to the piece.  

There was not much I did differently than what I did to the buffet.  I did have to tape a pretty good amount on the hutch due to all the glass and mirrors.

Speaking of mirrors...to paint the inside of the hutch I ended up laying it on its back like this...

 

Well....The entire backing of the hutch is mirrors.  So in this position, those mirrors were pointing straight up to the sky.  Being as low as it is to the ground, I was bent over the entire time painting the inside...which meant I stared at myself, in a not so attractive angle, for two days...each time I looked down in the mirror or  catch a glimpse it was like I had just opened up the camera on my phone and it was pointed towards me...WHOA!...I know everyone knows what I am talking about...

 

But, seriously...not cute.  :)

My client was very happy with her piece.  It was great to see her today and I got to meet her sweet babies (one is a fellow red head - so of course I felt bonded to him already) :)

My client went to work immediately putting her china in the hutch...check out it all filled up...

 

Tomorrow I will be starting on a dresser for my first ever "real" client and now she's my first repeat!  :)  The dresser is going to be RED - I am overly excited about this since I have never had the chance to do red!  

Currently covering all mirrors in my home,
