Mirror makeover

So I have had this mirror sitting in my garage for ohhhhh about 8 months now. I thought it was about time to give her a little makeover. She deserved it after waiting so patiently for such a long time.

Here she is:

 I sanded her down slightly by hand. Nothing major

 I then taped and bagged the mirror part. I know you are super jealous of my covering skills right now.

 I then brought her out back because spray paint fumes and closed garages don't go well together. Oh and I would rather not spray paint my cabinets. I used Valspars silver metallic. It really has a great finish to it.

 Then we looked at our belly in the mirror

 Then we talked to the little boy in the mirror and made faces at him

 Then we sang the little boy our ABC's of course

I then added a clear glaze with a bit of dark walnut Miniwax stain, to give it an aged look

 Then up on the wall she went. Yeah that was probably the hardest part. There may or may not have been some bad wordishes spoken. I say wordish because when I two year old is around you try to say things like frick and darn it and cheese and rice.

 I then added a little vase and twiggy things. Voila! Complete!

It really makes the room feel complete. Hallways can be tricky sometimes and to think I had that mirror sitting there for 8 months. Wish I would have done it sooner!
