Repurposing a Broken Full Length Mirror Stand

I have seen several of  these full length mirrors at yard sales,  but the mirror was always broken so I walked right past them.    When I saw this one the other day....cheap....I thought maybe I could repurpose it.  

  Before I give you more ideas of how to repurpose a standing mirror,  I want to show you the little nest that you can barely see above it.

This vintage ceiling light cover makes a perfect nest for my bird and continues my English Rose Garden theme in the entry.   

Ok,   back to the repurposed mirror stand.  

 In this photo I put a piano stool in front of it and used it like a back drop.......

Almost forgot to show you a before.....

  The stand and frame got a coat of white paint.    I used 3M spray adhesive to attach the fabric.

I used it here to hang a wreath on......

Here as a room divider......

Tilt the frame a little and it can be used as an easel.

  You can also take the framed fabric piece off the stand and hang it on the wall.

I continued my English garden theme in the entry by doing a vignette with birds and nests on the little cabinet by the front door..    I have 3 gold and crystal scales filled with birds and nests......

Each end of the cabinet has holes....I guess for plants or maybe even magazines.     I filled mine in with rose bouquets.   When I had this piece in the hallway,  I had my holes filled with crocheted pieces.  
 The gold glass window to the left of the cabinet got a face lift by adding some of the same floral fabric that I've used in the rest of the entry   (3M spray adhesive again)

I tied some bows to the top of the scales with the same fabric I used on another wall in the entry,  on the window next to the cabinet  and on the mirror stand.

I put a couple of green glass pieces on the two shelves since I have green depression glass in the cabinet on the opposite wall.

 
The pink rug that was in the entry was moved to the family room and was replaced with  a floral rug  from the studio.   I've got a pair of these rugs that I've had for about 15 years.   Rugs are a really good investment  and can really freshen up a room quick!
