Here’s a fun addition to your dressing rooms. The photo’s lousy, it’s the fault of the
catalog’s web site. But a great idea to inject a little humor into what COULD be a grim interval in the dressing room: a mirror which declares You Look Fabulous!
I originally saw this in the Signals catalog where it’s $19.95 for a 8″x10″ version. But they wouldn’t let me borrow their photo to show you (phooey on them), so I had to go elsewhere to find this one, which is from Home Visions, where they are asking $29.95 for the same thing (so phooey on them too).
I say, forget ’em both and etch your own with a craft-store mirror, your choice of satin ribbon to hang it from, and your choice of font. Here’s instructions from eHow on how to use shelf paper and etching cream, which is simpler than you think. Another set of instructions is from DIY Network (not as complicated as it seems; they added instructions on how to paint a frame to theirs.)
You might want to etch your shop logo onto the mirror too…it’s so irresistible, if it’s stolen, you might get a little word of mouth out of it when someone sees it in the thief’s bedroom!

Do u know where i can buy that mirror for my wife?
Golly, Raymond, from 9 years ago? Maybe you could Google it? And BTW, you’re gonna be a great husband when she gets it 🙂 !
[…] handheld mirror bedecked with ribbons and inscribed You Look Fabulous in the dressing room so she can see the rear view. Free candles with candlesticks once in a while. […]
We are currently doing this on all our mirrors the customers love it and laugh all day thanks David SerendipityTrading Post Consignments and More.
Hey all,
Instead of an etching cream, how about vinyl lettering from a sign company….they can do any color and also have a film that looks very much like etched glass…..and it’s very easy to install.
Great idea, I’m going to put it on all my dressing room mirrors!
what a good idea!!!!
Great idea! Or, we could do like Nicky@wallabies and write on it in eyebrow pencil!
Hell Kate!
The mirror is so cute!
I wanted to post about the etching cream. I have used (ARMOUR) etching cream for years and find it to be super easy. One of my favorite things to do is to get plain drinking glasses and because we are Irish folk, I take the border of a shamrock sticker and place it on the glass and apply the cream. After a few minutes I wash it off with super hot water…
I did this for my cousin with lenox crystal glasses (from the shop), gave it to her for her wedding shower in a gift basket and she says it was her favorite gift
