While I'm at it...

I'm kind of in a look-for-less mood still and remembered I had never posted my before and afters from my mirror project this summer...

So I wanted this look but the prices were just too much for me: $178, and $420 respectively.

So I enlisted my trusty friend ebay in search of an ornate mirror that I could paint a glossy white.

I found this guy for $50 and free shipping! And you could even find them for cheaper. P.S. this gold-y stuff is called syroco. Ebay has lots of it and they look great painted fun colors.
And here is the result! Hanging in my living room above  my bookshelf. I happen to really like it.
