Glass Glory


I am enthused today by a great find in the Ikea “As Is” section. For those of you who also enjoy burrowing through pieces of wood, fabric, and gently damaged items, you share my excitement of the hunt and the fulfillment of conquering the rummage.

My prize is a $10 undamaged 63x18 piece of beveled glass.

This calls for a project to add to a room in my home….console table, coffee table, floating shelf, desk, vanity/dressing table, door insert, and the list goes on.

Regardless of the path I choose, the glass itself is a treat to any space. Because it is transparent, it does not take up visual space and often lends a sense of openness, something we can all attempt to achieve.

With that said, my head is spinning from all of the endless possibilities…..
