A New View

I love a good revamping project. We had this really ugly, (maybe that's an exaggeration) round mirror in our downstairs powder room, so I decided it needed a little something, and to be placed somewhere else in the house. I found this great mirror at Marshall's Homegoods to put in its place. Here's the before and after:

It's definitely a good change! I plan to change the lighting fixtures (or spray paint them) to an antique brass color to match the shades in the mirror. We also need a new vanity/sink combo, but that is another project down the road! Onto how I revamped the mirror!

Step 1: I bought Rustoleum's "Stone" textured spray paint. Make sure you have plenty of newspaper, this paint is dense! And please, do it outside. Also, you'll need some painters tape. These should be goods you have laying around the house!

Step 2: Cover your mirror with newspaper. Since this was round, I ripped the paper and layered it to ensure no paint would run through. Add plenty of tape to cover the holes just in case. 

Step 3: Spray paint! Allow to dry over night, as this paint is thicker and allows more than one coat. Allow paint to dry in between coats, because otherwise it will spread and you'll have to re-spray those spots. 

 

TADA! Finished product! Looks much, much better! And the very best part? This mirror came with the house! My total cost: $7.50 for the can of spray paint! Now that, is a good revamping! 

Have a happy Tuesday!
