Let's start out with a super easy makeover. I found this gold mirror at a thrift store. I love the scrollwork of the frame, but wasn't so thrilled with the gold color.
Enter spraypaint of course. I used a black metallic Rustoleum paint. I sprayed on a light coat so some of the gold pops through. The scrolled edges of the frame made it a pain to tape paper over the mirror. I managed to only get a bit of paint to seep through which I was able to scrape off using a fingernail. Here is how she looks with her new paint job.
I decided the perfect place for the mirror was by our front door. I'm keeping an eye out for a small console type table to put under the mirror. Or I could add a shelf instead. I have a big project planned for this wall though that will have to come first before I make a final decision. (Hint, think board-and-batten.)

Love your mirror. Amazing what a little bit of paint can do.
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror's new look.. very cute. Have you thought about a stool for under the mirror?
ReplyDeleteOhh, love it! Spray paint is just the best. I see someone suggested a stool underneath it, but you could also do a wood chair - maybe painted green or turquoise? Then you could set a few little things on it - a silk scarf draped over it, a cool purse, etc. Just a thought! Your mirror redo turned out great! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. :) Love the mirror. Which way does the door open? How narrow does the table need to be? Can you build one?
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about building a table using one of plans on Knock-Off Wood. A stool or chair might work too, thanks for all the ideas!
