You know how the story goes. Mine is similar, it involves a mirror or two, but without a runaway princess, evil queen, and house of dwarves. The mirrors also don't talk, that I'm aware of.... Okay, so not a lot in common with the magical mirror of Snow White.
I thought the top of my library card catalog needed a mirror. I had a green one that had lasted through college, but the green didn't look quite right above the catalog.
The green mirror needed some classing up. The hardware on the catalog is a copper-y gold, so I decided that painting the mirror a similar color would make a nice compliment. Maybe one day I'll purchase a real antique gold mirror, but for the moment, a $1 bottle of antique gold paint sounds good.
Voila! The finished product!
But wait, there's more! Roaming the internet, I found that my eye was drawn to fun colored mirrors. A little ironic I just painted over one, right? Listen well - there is a time and a place for a bright colored mirror. I think I could make space for beauties like these though.
You don't just need art on a wall to bring a pop of color to space. My mother was thinking about donating this mirror that had long graced the hallway or our old house to Goodwill. Here was a perfect chance to refresh this mirror. I think chartreuse becomes it, but let me know what you think!
Stop by again soon!
