Revamped Mirror


Here is my mirror I re-vamped by dry brushing antique white paint. I thought it was just a little too bright for the style of the mirror. And incase you were not following along... below is a picture of "before"


So here the mirror pre-paint job

And spray painted Aqua


    And now...

Not to shabby? I like the distressed look a lot more. It suits the mirror, don't you think?

And one last thing...

I got this little candy dish thing at a yard sale for .50 cents!
I decided to use it as a jewelry holder - totally repurposed
I love it, do you?




Thanks for stopping by!

Upcycled Mirror

Thrift shopping is one of my favorite past times.  I'm always looking for some treasure that I can make beautiful. So when shopping at a second shop a while ago, I picked up this:
This is actually a mirror. I've taped the mirror right before I decided to give it a paint job!



I decided to paint it aqua blue with spray paint. I figured it needed some colour since the wall I would be putting it on is white. I wanted it to have some pop...
After a couple coats of spray paint

And after the tape was removed it looked like this:

One of the reasons why I wanted this mirror in the first place was to put over top of dresser where I keep my jewellery.  And so here it is all hung up on the wall.

Do you like the blue? Or should it be a different colour? Should I rough it up a bit? What are your thoughts?

Project Price Breakdown:
Mirror - $6.00
+ Spray Paint - $5.95
Total Project Cost $11.95

I'd love to hear your thoughts!!!
