When my parents cleaned out my old playhouse, to remodel for their grandchildren, they found this gem!
I was lucky enough to get to it before it got to the trash. I got some serious looks from my parents and my husband when I mentioned that I would like to take it on as a project. In fact, I was still lucky it didn’t end up mysteriously disappearing.
Not the prettiest looking thing. (Look at that handsome guy running from the playhouse.)
I removed the nasty cardboard and then the mirror from the frame.
Now for the bright, cheery color!
I decided to add curtains and cut two small panels. I only needed to hem the bottom because the inside edges came from the fabric edge and the other sides would be attached to the mirror.
I was thinking I would need to attach the material to the frame and then realized it would be a lot easier to attach them to the mirror – with tape even! How much easier could that be?
I didn’t want them to cover too much of the mirror, so I gathered at the top and left a space in the middle.
I found some ribbon to add as a tie-back and attached it to the back with tape as well. Once the mirror was squeezed back into the frame, everything stayed together perfectly.
Now the kiddos have a faux window over the sink. Even better than a window because kiddos love looking at themselves in the mirror.
I love this place! My kids are so lucky!
You might see this at any one of these fun parties!
I’m excited to announce that I will be co-hosting the Pinterest Power Party Thursday (beginning tomorrow night). Check back and link up, then look around for some pinsperation and get to pinning!
That’s really cute! The curtain fabric is so cheerful! And if it’s inside a little playhouse, I bet it helps a lot to make the room feel bigger.
I really love this! I love the whole thing actually I RRRREALLY will try to make something like this to my Emma!!! Thanks so much for sharing this at Bewitch Me & Titi! Hope to have you back next Sunday with more awesome shares!
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday

Do you have any more of that fabric? It’s so happy looking to have on any window, lucky kids getting to have it in their playhouse. Always wondered why things seem so much more special at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. So much fun. Great project for any window. Hope you’re having a great Memorial weekend.
This is great! I love taking old things and making them look new! The curtains are fabulous!
Cute, cute, cute! Thanks for linking up at the Pinterest Power Party – and for co-hosting with us!!
