I've been showing you mirrors that I've transformed lately, and today I wanted to share with you some of my latest creations! While "dreamy-creamy" white is still my absolute color to work with, I also really love bright and cheery aqua!
The three mirrors here were all made by Homco. I thought for sure that I had a "before" photo of this one,but I guess in my excitement to paint it, I forgot! Anyway, the frame was an awful brown, and trust me when I say that it was not in the least bit attractive!
I think she is so much happier with her new look!
I've been lucky enough to find several of these mirrors in the past (I've got a friend who is also always on the prowl mirror hunting for me as well!).
I really love how this beauty turned out! I did remember to get a before photo taken of this one. A few months ago I also made over one just like this, that I turned into a chalkboard (below). The mirror of that particular piece was in really bad shape, so I had my handy hubby cut a piece of masonite to fit, that I covered in chalkboard vinyl. I've since sold it in my Etsy shop, and would love to make another one like it!
Not so pretty "before"!
Don't you think this would be pretty in a beach cottage style home?
Ok, I was bad and didn't take a photo of this next mirror and shelf before I began painting it. I found the two at a neighbor's yard sale last weekend. Also made by Homco, they started out life white, and just looked really, well, "plastic-y"! (that's a word, right?)
It's amazing what a difference paint makes, don't you think?
They no longer have that "cheap-o" plastic look!
I've put all of these in my Etsy shop. Tomorrow I am going to some neighborhood garage sales. This neighborhood has an annual sale every summer, with tons of homes participating! So, hopefully I will find some treasures to transform, and maybe even get lucky and unearth some more mirrors!
Have a great day!

Just saw your previous mirror posts, too, Donna. You have definitely found some really pretty detailed ones! Love the colors you've done on all of them.
I'm so smitten with aqua these days. I am glad to see some color coming on the horizon.
