So I’m trying to follow along here….how many holes do I need to drill for later re-patching?

………I’m joking; sorry, sorry! 😉 Sorry for poking fun, but I’ve made similar mistakes before, so I can relate!

Thank you Jennie!
It’s amazing what you can do when you start with a simple box frame!

This is a great project. It would be perfect for signed baseballs. Put a little rounded divot to balance the balls, a simpler frame (they’re guys), with the mirror changed to glass. Where to put them is problem with my 6 year old grandson and grandpa. This would be perfect. You have the best ideas. Thanks Gail

Leslie,

Thanks so much for your comment! Freestanding? I guess you could make a pedestal to hold it? Sort of like a (floor) quilt rack? The legs would of course stick out. Maybe you do something like one of these? https://www.google.com/search?q=freestanding+mirror+armoire&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS934US934&sxsrf=ALiCzsYYZvH9mJlONMoj1U8p3nFEjRN5dw:1653593466507&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc4LHZ8_33AhUMj2oFHe3mAa4Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1536&bih=722&dpr=1.25

good luck!

Love this! Have been looking for something similar and have an old mirror similar to that one. Gail do you think this could be free standing without mounting?

Jennifer,

I’m so happy you found my project. I’m so excited for you to do it yourself!!! I always try to be honest with my friends about what goes wrong. So many influencers make everything look perfect, and that’s not real life.
have fun, good luck!
