The mirror is from Restoration Hardware.

The timing is right as I just bought a little footstool at the thrift store and wanted to make a slipcover to go over it. I bought it mainly for keeping my feet elevated when traveling on the train, as well as, when sitting at Bible conventions. It really helps in keeping the swelling down on my feet and legs. Hope you get a chance to visit and share one of your projects at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party.
