Remember one of my first posts about simple, clean, white pieces?? Well..dun dun dunnnn, an uber easy one, that is by far one of my favorite things yet!
First things first, head out to your favorite local discount store.. Mine being V V Boutique. To all you who don't understand my language, Value Village! And as your browsing through objects, or in my case hastily sifting through things, you may come across a super ugly mirror. But of course, this retched piece is calling my name louder and louder.....mmmeegghannn....megghhannn....
So what do you do next? You buy the $5 mirror to a steal and take it home, because yep, you have a fabulous idea!!!
Just take a look at how ugly it is, buy notice the awesome artsy picture I go out of it :)
Next, decide whether you want to paint it black or white... It was a tough decision! Black would've looked awesome and totally fit me..but, simplicity overruled and white one!
So I pulled out my handy iPhone and rang up my roomie who conveniently works at Canadian Tire. The cheapest white spray paint that sticks to plastic, yep, Moe delivered, awesome man.
So after disassembling the mirror I laid it out on some newspaper to spray paint.
WARNING!! DO NOT DO THIS!!!
I learned the hard was as I went to do a second coat a couple hours later, there was stupid paper stuck allllll over it! Half hour later and the paper is peeled off, I decided to hang onto the mirror and spray another coat.
My hand ending up like this:
But boy did the mirror look nice air dryin on our fence.
NOTE TO SELF: remember this next time :)
But after it was a finished, reassembled, and hung on the wall, I couldn't be more pleased! It is everything I was hoping, and puts such a nice touch to any wall!!
Creativity is my best friend :)
