I love the huge mirrors seen floating around Pinterest and Instagram that have a rounded top and framed sections.

I have yet to find one in my budget. So, when I saw these at Family Dollar for $12 I figured I could reach a compromise.
I knew there had to be a way to spray paint them even if it meant taping off the mirrors. The back came off, but there were about 39 screws in each one. No joke. Each section was an individual mirror. Oy! The fun part was putting them back together.
All that aside, I sprayed and then took a sander and gave it a pretty distressed look.
No matter how I took the pics, something in them looked crooked. I'm going to blame it on a older home and say the flooring is off. LOL. It's also in a small hallway area and I had to stand in the bathroom to get them.
As you can see, I moved my cabinet from the school room to here. Love it!

ReplyDeleteLove it! You have such a beautiful home! Have you made any changes to your homeschool room recently? Homeschool rooms fascinate me!
ReplyDeleteI have totally dismantled it. Lol. I moved my cabinet down. I'm thinking about doing it downstairs this year because there is so much more light. It got really depressing last year.
DeleteThis is a genius idea! What a lovely blog y'all have! Nice to meet y'all. Angela here!
ReplyDeleteI bought the same mirror. How did u securely hang yours? Right now i have picture hanging wire around 2 of the screws but noticed that the backing is giving way.
ReplyDeleteReally smart and creative idea. Love it!!
