Yes, yo...Hi Tia, thanks so much for the compliment! Yes, you are exactly right. KSL.com is the classified section of our local news station here in Utah. It's open to anyone in the Utah/Idaho area. I would imagine you could ask the seller if they would be willing to ship something to you as I don't think there is any prohibition on that. I honestly don't know if it's a unique idea that KSL came up with or if it's a nation-wide trend with news stations? I sure hope your local area has something similar because I love it! Good luck and happy treasure hunting!:::nikki:::https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712224993363513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-65024051916223643672016-03-28T08:41:25.180-07:002016-03-28T08:41:25.180-07:00Hi Angela, sorry for taking a bit to get back to y...Hi Angela, sorry for taking a bit to get back to you. My dresser is still in great shape! One edge of the overlays did come unglued recently but I just glued it back with some super glue and haven't had an issue since. Keep in mind, however, that I don't have any kids so that could be a main reason it's stuck together so well! I do, however, now have a very naughty puppy who likes to scratch at the drawers since that is where we keep his toys. So far he hasn't been able to rip it apart. Hope this is helpful! :::nikki:::https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712224993363513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-84957645265693745762016-03-27T05:03:10.829-07:002016-03-27T05:03:10.829-07:00Your work is absolutely beautiful!

It looks like most things are found in Utah... Do they ship to other states? Or is using that site only a viable option near you? If it's just a classifieds section of local news, I assume I can look for the equivalent to what's in my area.... <br /><br /><br />Thanks so much!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408242465362493974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-18235824766808276172016-02-28T04:05:23.903-08:002016-02-28T04:05:23.903-08:00Love this dresser!

I am not sure that they cut round pieces, in fact, I'm pretty sure they only cut straight lines. If you see this, please let me know what you ended up doing.

When you go into a lowe's store, there is a glass cutting section where they have huge sheets of glass and mirror. Nothing fancy, just big, long, plain sheets. I just asked them to cut one of the pieces to the dimensions I needed. I know that's not very helpful, but that's just what I did.

Thank you SO much for your interest in my project. It's so flattering! That's a tricky question. So I just took some measurements and, when centered, the mirror is slightly less than 3/4" from the edge on both sides. The border around the jasmine panel is 3/4" so it just covers it by just a hair. That's not a problem for me but if you would rather not risk it, then I would get the larger mirror and have it cut down just to be safe. The only reason that I used the size of mirror I did was because it cut into 3 equal pieces with no waste. You can always buy the bigger size just to be on the safe side. Hmmmm....did that make any sense at all? Hope it helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!:::nikki:::https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712224993363513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-64657653178331751772014-11-09T07:42:52.159-08:002014-11-09T07:42:52.159-08:00Hi Wynne, sorry for the delay!

I am planning on doing this project on my six drawer Malm dresser, which basically has the same dimensions as your dresser, just doubled in width. According to the IKEA website, the width of the drawer is 31.58 inches, and the mirror you used was 30 inches in width. I also plan on using the Jasmine overlays, which have a width of 31.31 inches. I know you said that the overlay covered the extra space between the wood and the mirror but I am still worried. Should I just buy a larger mirror and cut it down to size? I just don't want to waste the money and have the small extra mirror pieces.<br />Thank you in advance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277090186987989095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-12522517761651691942014-10-30T22:54:55.325-07:002014-10-30T22:54:55.325-07:00Did you order 1/8" or 1/4" overlays?Did you order 1/8" or 1/4" overlays?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198340163553905711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-2849983168412929632014-10-30T16:43:23.256-07:002014-10-30T16:43:23.256-07:00Hi, Mel!

The downside is that I've never been across the pond and I'm afraid I can't give you very good advice on where to find supplies! The girls from O'verlays are extremely nice and I'm thinking if you email them, they may be able to work something out for you! They do custom work so if you send them the dimensions of your existing furniture, they could make something for you. Also, their website is full of amazing ideas with really simple overlays. I thought about making some of the simpler, straight-line-only designs myself by cutting particle board into strips and gluing it together, though I've not tried it yet. Hmmm, I know I'm not being a lot of help. Pinning my dresser on Pinterest would be the greatest compliment of all. Thank you so much for your interest and please let me know if you have other questions! :::nikki:::https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712224993363513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817749841226920820.post-71140704011283997622014-10-29T13:02:40.062-07:002014-10-29T13:02:40.062-07:00This looks like a fantastic project and you have g...This looks like a fantastic project and you have given me inspiration to update some of my furniture.

Thank you for the compliment! You made ...Hi there! Thank you for the compliment! You made my day! And I'm so flattered that you're interested in making one too! Do it!!! To answer your question about the mirror, I can see what the employee was saying. When I got them, I had to be careful carrying them because the cut edges were sharp. BUT, at least with my project, the overlays cover the edges so they aren't exposed and the edges are also sandwiched between the front of the drawer and the overlay so you aren't touching the raw edge of the mirror when you are using the drawer. I have not had any issues with the sharp edges being a problem whatsoever. In fact, last month, my two toddler-age godsons were at my house for a month and were opening the drawers frequently to get toys out and we had no issues with little hands either. I hope this makes sense and if you have any more questions, please ask! :::nikki:::https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712224993363513815noreply@blogger.com
