Updating a Standing Mirror

I wanted a yellow mirror. I had the vision in my head. I started browsing Craigslist immediately. I wanted my price range to be really low, like 30 bucks low. I found what I wanted (not yellow yet) for 50 bucks. It was close enough in distance, so I called to check it out. I managed to get the woman down to 20 bucks because she was tired of having it sit around (always bargain!) On my way home I stopped to pick up some Krylon spray paint, in the exact yellow I had in my head!

This being my first spray paint job ever, I didn't sand the wood (it did just fine without sanding). I covered the mirror with newspaper and taped the edges down under the wood frame. I grabbed my masks and I went to town. I forgot to prime it, so it ended up taking 2 cans of paint (I have learned since then!). I am in love with my mirror!!! The whole project was under $30 and I have a nice accent piece in my room now!

My lovely tape job

Anyone for the news?

Tada! My Mirror!

Remember when shopping on craigslist always go with a friend and never pay cash up front for anything! If it's not in your hand, don't pay them!

Now go and spray paint something (and wear a mask for safety!)
