Much to my sweet BF’s dismay, I am a hoarder.  Whether its leftovers, old magazines, clothes that are too small or too big, or random items that I think I may refurbish….one day…I save it all.  When he was moving recently, I “rescued” two large full-length mirrors that were headed straight to the trash can. Even though they were probably $9.99 at Wal-mart many years ago and their plain wood frames had seen better days, I knew I that years from now eventually get around to doing SOMETHING with them.

Enter in Country’s Living’s latest issue.  How adorable is this idea? Using clothes pins to decorate a mirror?  LOVE it. And more importantly, I love the functionality of it.  You can  use the pins to hang little notes of inspiration, or a few favorite photos or postcards along the mirror.  I may try placing a few clothes pins the other direction, too, to hang things on both sides.  Now I just have to find the perfect color….
