For months and months and months now, I’ve seen this round iron piece at local treasure trove called Old Time Pottery and have always thought it’d make a cool sunburst mirror. But, I’ve never been motivated enough to dish out $16 for it. Well, the two and I made a pit stop to OTP last week and here it was in the clearance aisle for $9. I couldn’t resist so I swiped it up and away we went.
All I did was spray prime it, spray paint it (went safe with white), and glue a six-inch mirror I picked up at Hobby Lobby ($2 with 40% off coupon) onto it with some craft glue.
I thought I had more in-process pictures but I can’t find them which is totally okay because it’s so easy you don’t even need them, right? All you have to do is find any sort of round iron-work decor and glue a mirror onto it for an instant sunburst mirror and that’s that.
It fills up this space a lot better than the little mirror did before:
However, it doesn’t stand out against the blue walls as much as I would like so, being that I smell a bedroom mini-makeover in the future, it will probably be painted another color – gold? a citrony-green? gray? Follow along and you can be sure to find out!
Have a great weekend!
Nice find! I like how it is kind of geometric looking. Looks way better now with the mirror and paint too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! I love me all things geometric which is probably why I fell for it in the first place! :)
