A couple of bandaids and one broken mirror later...
I would like to introduce
My version of the
"Trumeau"
I am so proud of this mirror because I made it all by my little self.
No help from Daddy.
No instructions.
No advice.
I first sketched it out in my mind.
I searched for scrap pieces that would work.
and learned
that mirrors break
Easily...
I think if you really put your mind to something
you will amaze yourself.
I hope a true carpenter does not come over anytime soon.
He may just bust my bubble
and point out
all of my boo boo's.
But for now
I am going to just enjoy
my
"Fancy Mirror"
I hope you will enjoy it too!
Anyone out there interested
in a little
DIY?

Susie...it looks fabulous! You did a great job! Think what thay would have cost you in a boutique somewhere...a small fortune! You should be so very proud of yourself! ~mary~
Oh, Susieness! Tiny One! Look what you've made! It's gorgeous! You're so little - how did you do this? ;) You're so amazing!

LOVE this!
OOOOH! So pretty!
It turned out great! And I don't see a single boo-boo. Besides IF there were any it just adds to the character of the piece.
I was hoping you'd offer a DIY. I was loving your post about it the other day, and hoping you'd share! :) Looks so beautiful.
Blessings!

Is there a wider version? I need a mirror to go over our dresser in our bedroom and love this.
Are you kidding of course I want a DIY. I think you did a great job your corners match up perfectly, and I know that is not easy to do. Your fancy mirror makes me happy. Have a goo day, and snuggle some puppies for me.

Amazing! I love the way you tackle things head on--and they turn out so well. You are very talented!
I would love a tutorial although I am not sure I have the confidence to take it on...it will be comforting to know it is in the file for "later". Thanks!
You are so amazing! If I only had the talent that you have in your pinky finger...watch out decor world. I love your mirror. I love that you tackle a project head on. You are so inspiring to me and keep me motivated to work on DIY with a smile. It might take me a while...but your talents keep me crafting and painting in true forward motion.
Love it~!
Cheers~

You've outdone yourself Miss Suzie Q'tness!
This is beautiful. I am so impressed with your talent.
Amazing! Beautiful! Impressive! Great job. Would love to see your DIY instructions.
YES....please tell us how you did it? It's amazing Susie!!!!!!!!
Girl! That looks fantastic, yes we want all the details. Maybe I should make one. I really want a HUGE mirror in my Livingroom. Big, really big.
I honestly like yours better than the 'real' Trumeau's. Not only do we want the DIY's, we want the details on the broken mirror! We won't even talk about the seven years of bad luck! (Who came up with that superstition anyway?)
Great job!
That's amazing...job well done...really well done!
You did a great job. You are so talented It's beautiful.
I just discovered your blog while searching for DIY Trumeau mirror plans--yours came out perfect!
I would also love it if you could share the details!
Nancy
Ah ignore them boo's my foot! That is just lovely! Your own Trumeau Mirror!
I had NO DOUBT you could do it!! It looks gorgeous!
Hello! Totally love it!!! I want to make one too!
Your mirror is absolutely gorgeous. What an amazing job you did. This is one of my favorites.
I would love to make one.
Ruth
Simply Gorgeous! Looks like a pro made this baby!
So funny...I have been begging my hubby to help me make one for months now! I have all the pieces, but never wanted to attempt it alone! You are awesome! Yours turned out gorgeous!
P.S. I need to email you about TX!
Oh my goodness this is just breathtakingly beautiful.
DIY? DI YES!
Wow! This is beautiful. You did a fantastic job!
Great job! Yes, please share!
Oh, it's just beautiful! What a wonderful project!! :)
Blessings,
Stacey
Wow Susie. You did an excellent job!!! It looks beautiful. I also love the reflection in the mirror. Your mantlescape looks marvelous!
A DIY for the trumeau would be much appreciated! Do you already have one for the sqaure wreath?! Did I miss it? Or have I just forgotten?
Susie,
Mercy me! Is there any limit to your talent and abilities? Your Trumeau isn't just a mirror, it's a work of art. Pretty please do share. And thank you!
Paula
FANTASTIC job! Your "Fancy Mirror" turned out AMAZING!
it looks great, you are just way too talented!
Fantastic!!!! You did a superb job on the mitered corners!
Beautiful--you should be very proud! Thanks for sharing, Jeanette
Absolutely lovely. Well done!!
Susie,
It's beautiful. You are truly an inspiration to me. I hope you show us how you made it. Awesome!
Yes Susie, please do a DIY!!!! You rock.
By the way, are you finished reading Beth Moore's book? Can I just tell you that it has changed my life? I had a chance to meet up with fellow bloggers and I remembered that post you did on meeting bloggers and bringing insecurity along with you, and had I not read that book in it's entirety before going, I would have been writing the exact same post. I was so glad you shared what you did, because it played several times in my mind before I ever got to meet them and I knew God had way more for us! Just wanted to share that with you.
Blessings,
LMM
Wow Susie you did a wonderful job. It's beautiful. You're so talented.

I hope you got my message from about 2 weeks ago when I said I was going to be coming through Louisiana and would love to meet you if we both had the time. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for us but could you please contact me at jdy277@aol.com.
Thanks!
Judy
Susie, I have been reading about you and your AMAZING talents for a few months now. I am truly taken aback by your skills everytime!
I love catching up with you, and those yard sales you visit are fabulous!
I am not sure your mirror would look as good with my reflection in it hee hee!
If anyone would like to pop over to me and check out my very new blog and make friends I would love it! A few friends from over the pond would be great!
Love C. x
