DIY Mirror Frame Idea



You guys have seen this frame before on one of my previous post of decorating. However, what you might not know is that the mirror frame came from a flea market find. The mirror only cost me $3!! As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly were it was going to go. Their was just one little problem with it. It had such an ugly color.


The mirror frame looked like it has seen a couple of different paint coats but I was determined to bring it to life. Most of the furniture in my home is dark wood or black so it was easy to pick the color for the frame.  I went out to home depot and got a painters sample that only cost about $3.50.  I was so happy that home depot offers this new samples from bear because I rarely need any more than just 7.25 FL OZ. 



All I did just taped up the inside of mirror as to not get paint on it and went to town. The paint dried pretty fast and then just went up on my wall.



You can't even tell that it was a flea market find or any other color but black. 

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!
