Upcycled Drama!

In the process of redecorating our master bedroom, I decided to replace a mirror that matched our dresser with something a little more swankier. The problem was, the mirror I was looking for was way too expensive ... So I decided to DIY it!

As usual, my first stop was Craigslist. You can search almost any word and find some interesting "things". In my case I just searched for mirrors - and found the PERFECT piece!
This mirror was about 60" long and weighs in at around 50lbs. But clearly that didn't stop me since Jeff did all the heavy lifting (thanks honey!).



Instead of using tape around the curves I was able to slip some paper around the frame to protect the mirror when I painted it. And this time, I used good old fashioned spray paint. 



The final result was pretty dramatic and definitely added some swank to the room! Now to find that perfect headboard...
