This may be the slowest project in blogging history, but that’s alright. That’s how I roll sometimes.
Sarah has been crazy busy working on competing for the The Biggest Loser’s At-Home prize, so this room makeover has taken the slow boat! However, I do have another little sneak peak.
Not too long ago, I saw a quote on Pinterest that really caught my eye and screamed Sarah’s name…
Soooo, I teamed up with one of our new sponsors, Shelly from Say Anything Expressions, on a fun little project!
I have a sad old mirror that has been stuffed in a closet for years, because it was ugly, and I couldn’t find a place for it in it’s current state…
…but with a little love and some spray paint, I knew it would be perfect for Sarah’s room makeover. So I dusted it off, rolled up my sleeves and went to work.
I covered the mirror with some old wrapping paper and painters tape. Sprayed on some primer and then a couple of coats of White Gloss Valspar spray paint.
Then I went to town with my trusty sander, and added some character. I know, why was it called ugly before, but now that it’s white and roughed up we say it has character? I don’t know, I don’t make up the design rules. All I know is that It makes it look lovely…
I cleaned it all up and installed Shelly’s vinyl. I wanted the quote to look like it was etched onto the mirror rather than opaque vinyl, let me know what you think…
Didn’t Shelly do a FANTASTIC job?! I LOVE how it turned out!
Can’t wait to show off the final project!!
