Nautical Mirror Makeover

August 14, 2014

   One fateful day I was browsing at “Re-Store” and  all their mirrors were 75% off!  I picked up this bad boy for only $2.00!  It is huge and old-school heavy duty!  It had so much potential!  I had no clue what I was going to do with it,  but I wanted it!

  A few days later  I was staring at this really  blank,  boring wall on my patio.  I had no idea what to put there… LIGHTBULB!

Here is how I  turned my $2.00  find into a  beautiful  finishing touch on my patio.

 I wanted to beef up the sides to give the frame more visual weight.  So, I  added 1×2’s  to the edge as trim.   I then  primed and painted that sucker.

FYI : You can  get  paint samples from Home Depot for $2.97, and they are  perfect for small projects like this!

 I still wanted to added some  character to the mirror, and  I still needed to  hardware to hang it.  So I went for 2 birds with 1 stone.

See,  look how pretty  the mirror  turned out! Another plus,  the hanging hardware will ensure that the mirror stays  put,  even in the Florida  Hurricane season. 😉

 Take Luck,

Corey

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
