- Clean out and organize not just the rooms themselves, but organization spaces such as closets, shelves, drawers, and bookshelves.
- Learn how to properly use organization equipment, such as bins, drawer organizers, storage bins, food storage containers, lids, and baskets.
The Private Balanced Home Community
(BONUS – Priceless). Provides a community that you can go to whenever you need a place where you…
- Seek inspiration and ideas from others
- Receive support and motivation from others
- Share your successes and see the successes of others as we all work towards finding balance and clarity in our homes.
- Can ask questions and let me know what you may still need help with so that I can continue to cater the course to your needs
What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

Oooh. Amy I love it! It turned out so pretty. Perfect for summer too! I have a mirror I’ve been saving for this…maybe it’s time I get on it :)
xoxo
Thanks Tauni! You have been on a crafty streak lately! I am sure you could make one with no problem!
this is brilliant piece of work that you have done
Just beautiful. I love the addition of the words. I’m sure your daughter will treasure it.
Thanks MaryAnn! I think the vinyl lettering was the final touch. I sure hope she does or I will have to put it in my room :)
I love this project! I may have to make a trip to Goodwill to hunt for a mirror.
Thank you for the inspiration :)
Our goodwill always has a few mirrors. Hope you are able to find one that you love!
Does it remain reflective like a mirror?
Linda- Not so much. Thanks.
this is really cool, i’m not sure if it’s as easy as it looks! love the look of it!
I was actually surprised at just how easy it was. I was prepared for it to be harder and was happy to see just how easy it really was!
This is such a great project, love it! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks Amanda!
LOVE IT! I have to make me a new mirror;)
ha! Thanks! Good luck! I love it when I see something that I HAVE to make…just wish I could get to all of them sooner than later.
I love this project Amy! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Becky! So glad you like it. Hope you are doing well!!
Beautiful job Amy!! Love the end product. You do such a wonderful job of showing each step. I hope to do one of these soon.
Thanks Danielle. I need step by step instructions myself. So I just assume others like them too. Thanks for the comment girl!
WOW! I love this! great job! Where did you get the striper?
I found the stripper at Home Depot but have had it around the house for a while now. You can find a lot of different types of paint strippers at any home improvement stores in the paint aisles.
Amy–this is an awesome project! great tute!
Love the saying and this is the perfect place for it, on a mirror!

Thanks Gail! I really appreciate it. It means a lot coming from the repurposed Queen :)
I really like this and love that quote.
Thanks Jamie. I have liked this quote for a long time and think it is so important, especially for girls to learn.
Simply stunning! I love it!!
Thank you so much Amber. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave a comment. They make my day!
Soooo if I give you my address how soon can you have this shipped to me :) I love this and it is perfect for a corner of my bedroom that is needing some attention! I’m linking back to you today for Wonderful Wednesdays at http://www.craftybalancing.blogspot.com .
Ha Ha! Of course :). If my daughter will let you have it. But I could be persuaded to make another one. It was a fun challenge.
Very cool! I have always wondered how it was done, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Candace. I thought it looked a lot harder too until I actually made one. It was suprisingly simple. The hardest part was buying the Muriatic acid! But if you have a pool, you probably already have some.
GORGEOUS Amy!! I think this is one of my favorites you’ve done!! LOVE IT!!!
Thanks so much Cheryl! I appreciate that. I really think it has been one of my favorites too. Now I need to make one for my room.
So pretty, Amy! What a cool project! I love how it turned out!
Thanks so much Kami! It was a lot of fun to make too.
It’s gorgeous and I love the words you chose. How are you?
I LOVE this! I’m going to go scrounge through my parents house and find a mirror!
I love this Amy!! I made a printable and canvas with that quote. It’s one of my favorites.
Your acid mirror turned out so pretty.
This is beautiful! Just curious if any of the mirror reflection is still there? And if not what would you say the difference is between doing this to a mirror and just using a piece of glass? Either way I’m totally doing this! ;)
There is quite a bit of mirror reflection there. I mainly just used the acid around the edges and then spotty throughout the rest of the mirror. I wanted to be able to still see your reflection in the mirror. I personally love it with the mirror. But it would be fun with a regular piece of glass too.
I LOVE IT!!! I need to write it on my decorating wishlist. A very doable project. Thanks for sharing!!
Oh wow….very cool!!!
Amy, You did a wonderful job. It is quite beautiful. You are so talented.
love this for so many reasons!! the destroyed/aged looked mirror is fantastic :) and the demask print adds a perfect touch! My favorite part, the sweet message on it for you daughter :) such positive words that ring true!!
Where do I begin with my praises for this master piece? Well I begin by stating publicly….that I am scared of the acid. I wish I weren’t. But it’s true. I digress…
I LOVE the painting on the fabric thing. That turned out AMAZING!!! And the fonts on the vinyl are exquisite as well. What a HUGE project. I hope you spend at least 30 minutes a day…just staring at it. :)
Oh!!! I love this! I love you take on this project. BEAUTIFUL. The damask anna stencil is one of my faves.
I knew you liked that one! It is one of my favorites too! Thanks Stacy!!
That is awesome. I really, really love that! And especially for a young girl to truly understand beauty. Great idea!
Every aspect of this project is just lovely! And put all together? AMAZING! I love it, Amy!!
xoxo,
Amy
Gorgeous! I sooo want to do this for my daughter’s room. I’ll add it to my list. :)
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!
It’s beautiful! Breathtaking! I am not flattering you. :) I wish I could make this. Mine probably wouldn’t look as good. Your photos show what you do–but they’re really artistic, too. Not sure I could do that.
SO stinkin’ awesome!!!! I feel lucky that I saw it at your home waaaay before you posted! Love that quote, too;)
wow…Great project! i like it.
I was SO inspired by yours that I made one!! I LOVE it, thanks!!

Yay! Heading over to your site to check it out. Thanks for letting me know. I Love to see my readers projects!
I am in LOVE with this mirror….Where can I get the vinyl letters…..I just love what it says….For a daughter its perfect….Now I am in on a hunt for an old mirror i have one that size in the garage but it is super heavy and it would need a frame.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I got the vinyl from Ten23 designs. Here is the link. Hope you can find the perfect mirror!

What a great ideal.. I love mirrors but they look a bit redundant after awhile. This will be great to help break it up a bit.
I love your mirror!
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR MIRROR!!! It would be perfect for my daughters room!! and that is one of my favorite quotes. I do have a question…what size of mirror did you use??
How did i miss this? It is gorgeous! Love the quote as well.
The directions for this mirror messes with my creative sense…in that this is way too much work to get virtually the same results with a picture frame and it’s own glass…I would simply spray a thin layer of a spray paint on the glass…do some scraping to mae it look like sraped away mirror…and do the steps after you used the acid and muscle….sometimes we can come up with an alternative plan…..nice work
That sounds like it would be nice too. But I personally love the fact that you can see your reflection in the mirror still and for me that adds so much more to the saying fo being your own kind of beautiful. But I love that there are so many ways to interpret creative artwork and ideas. Especially since everyone has different tastes and styles!
Great tutorial – I’ll have to try this! I have this linked to my mirrors post too today, for inspiration!
wow. that is 100% perfect
I am a bit confused. I have made this mirror but am to the point of putting it back together. How do I secure the mirror in the frame? I read that you put clear silicone but then you put the backing on it? The picture looks as if there is no backing because you can see the blue wall behind the picture. That was what I had in mind but am worried that the silicone won’t be enough to hold the glass to the frame.
I just looked at the post to see what you were referring to. I think the blue that you are seeing in the reflection in the mirror of the painted blue wall. There is most definitely a back on this mirror. i just put the mirror back together how it came after adding the silicon around the edge and then adding the yellow material to show through the areas where the acid ate off the reflective mirrored surface. Does that make more sense?
I love it!!! I am dying to try this on a mirror! I love the yellow fabric behind it – Gorgeous! And the Lettering is perfect! Crazy, I have put lettering on mirrors, but didn’t distress them – Duh me!! Now I just gotta!! Thanks for sharing!! Great blog!
Hi,
First time to your site.
Interesting project but I’d just like to suggest that you should make a smaller, more transparent watermark–it is truly too distracting.
Keep it up
I love it! How do I secure the mirror in the frame? I read that you put clear silicone but then you put the backing on it? The picture looks as if there is no backing because you can see the blue wall behind the picture.
The blue wall is the reflection of the mirror.
