Before and After

Before...


I wanted to lighten up this mirror for my bedroom.


You ever just get tired of looking at something?

TaDah...
(Ignore those sweatpants hanging in the closet...oops  I got so excited I forgot to close the door..lol)



I thought about it for a while.  Then I was at Hobby Lobby and saw this crafting paper.  I fell in love with it, and the idea came together.


I used Modge Podge to adhere the paper, then took some acrylic paints to dry brush the accent colors from the paper.  

The furniture's a different story.  A story of blunders...don't use non water-based polyurethane on latex paint!  It WILL turn yellow.  Now, someday, I WILL re do them.  But for now, I have my beautiful mirror to look at...sigh
