I have never been crazy about the Chevron pattern, but it is all over blogland, and doesn’t seem to be dying. If I wasn’t so into blogs, I wouldn’t even realize there was a pattern named Chevron, and I certainly wouldn’t know what it looks like! But when all the bloggers I read are loving something, and I just don’t, I begin to wonder… is there something wrong with me? 
But when I saw this on Pinterest:
I suddenly liked it on here, and was inspired to make a bit of a copycat.
In my storage of stuff, I came across a couple of those IKEA mirrors, and decided to give it a try…

- Chevron Mirror *before*
I’m just not sure if I like it! I know I love the one from Pinterest much more…. what do YOU think? Like, or not like?
thanks for reading!

BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE it!!
Thanks Randee! That makes me feel better!
The Pinterest mirror’s black is a little more distinct–IF you wanted to darken your black. This sounds wishy-washy, but I like them both. Yours has a softer look to it.
the funny thing is, I think I like the “hardness” of the pinterest one! Mine turned out too soft in my opinion!
I like urs better!
Thanks Melba!!!
LIKE! The only diff is that the pinterest one has the inside frame that makes it pop a bit more.
thanks! I know, I LOVE that frame on that one… I’ll have to keep my eyes open for something like it…
I love it!! I love chevron {anything!} I have the same mirror, not ikea, but the same mirror. It was the first thing I made into a chalkboard
Great job, I always have such a hard time doing chevron!
thanks Jill! I did find doing the chevron a little annoying… I don’t have quite that much patience!
I have that same frame pinned on Pinterest as well. Haven’t gotten around to making one of my own though. I think yours looks great! If you have time I would love for you to come join my link party!

thanks amy! I’ll be there!
personally, i love me some chevron, and i totally get it with the “terms.” before blogging, i had no idea about milk glass or even mercury glass.
I know, my whole world has opened up so much since blogging! I now speak a whole new language, that my hubby doesn’t understand!!
I love yours! I really like the color. Isn’t it funny how blog land is such a world of its own?
It really really is! My hubby is a computer tech, and he doesn’t understand a word of my lingo…. “your gonna join a linky what???” He jsut listens and nods now!
thanks for visiting my blog, your blog is gorgeous!
This is so funny, cause I too have that pinned to pinterest… and JUST YESTERDAY I was thinking of chevron, and wondering if it was going to go out of style and I came to the conclusion that yes, it will go out of style the very second that I decide to {paint a wall, or make a mirror, or buy some fabric} that is chevron. That all being said, you did a really, really fantastic job on this. Love the softness of it, kudos to you on a job well done!!!
