I "borrowed" this idea from another blog but it has been so long that I can't remember where or when therefore I can't give that person credit for the idea. {Remember, I have no creative thoughts of my own!} Oh, well!
My bathrooms are full of builder stock square mirrors...boring. I would have loved to rip the one out in the powder room downstairs, but the hubby had already painted that room and I knew not to ask. So here is how I made boring....better.
I bought an old frame at the antique mall. I think I paid $10. I can't remember, I've inhaled WAY too much spray paint fumes! Then I got my cans of gloss white spray paint and some ribbon.
Before...
After...
If you are going to hang it over a mirror, be sure to paint the back as well. Lesson #1 learned!
I hung the painted frame on a ribbon from my light fixture.
See....I'm right in the middle!
Boring mirror not so boring anymore! Just so you know how unmotivated I have been, it took me 2 months from the time I bought and painted the frame to hanging it! Pathetic!
I like the mirror.
ReplyDeleteCute! I've thought about doing something similar for a while and was a bit aprehensive to try it...but now I think I will. It really dresses up those plain bathroom mirrors. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! It looks wonderful and does make those plain mirrors look special!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cool. I have never seen that done before.My daughter would love that done to her mirror. Oh by the way when you decide to sew let me know, I have lots of fabric.LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a silly thing makes such a difference, doesn't it? I hung a wreath on my boring bathroom mirror and I just love how much better it looks. The frame looks great!

Oh Jenny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever and creative idea..love it! It looks great and gives the bath so much charm!
LOVE IT! Very creative - those are the touches to houses I love. Simple but beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the mirror! I think you may have seen that on the Nester's site - I saw her idea and copied it in my bathroom using two black square frames on my very wide mirror.
