You may recall my rant yesterday about the ugly $12 mirror I purchased with the intention to beautify it. If you don’t here is another look at it.

I immediately cleaned the mirror free of dust and removed the glass from the frame so I wouldn’t have to tape it off. A quick coat of primer and then a coat of leftover teal spray paint “Lagoon” by Rustoleum late and I love it! The birds are singing!

It is displayed on the wall at the foot of my bed for now and I don’t mind it. I used to have a floor mirror there and I couldn’t stand the glow of the moon from my window reflecting at night in my face while I slept. I would imagine figures in the window and instantly be terrified! I’m such a wimp. In my defense , there was a guy outside my window before trying to get his girlfriend on the second floor to wake up. He moved away when Breeze unhappily jumped in the window to check him out. Needless to say that floor mirror has been moved to the living room.

I still have so much left to do, but this is a great start along with my teal dresser. I have to decide on what color to paint this chair, right now it is sitting in my room with primer on it. I don’t want to commit to white and then change it later. I’ve painted my ceiling bright white as well, which wasn’t as bad as I remember. My neck was only a little stiff, no more complaints about a small bedroom from me. I still have to decide on fabric for the upholstered bed that Milla and I made with the help of her boyfriend. The list will never end.

Funny, I fell in love with the mirror as soon as I saw it. I just loved the shaped and all the carvings made it interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I was definitely seeing it with painted eyes! lol That color is so rich, I love Rustoleum products. Love if you’d link up to Frugal Treasures Tuesday party. : )

Is it discontinued? I didn’t know that! I just bought the last three cans at my Home Depot but I didn’t know they wouldn’t be restocking it
.
Don’t quote me on that. Perhaps it was Lowes and they were replacing with another brand? Not certain…just know that I stocked up and I got ya if you need more (smile). It will cost you though…

I love that color it is like the perfect shade. My dresser in my room is that color and I just convinced myself to paint my desk that color too which I’ll feature tomorrow.
