This mirror is my latest project. I think it's perfect for a little girl's room.
I cleaned it up and covered the mirror with paper, with the help of some painter's tape, to protect it while I spray painted it.
Here it is with a coat of Tremclad spray primer.
Here it is with 2 coats of Krylon Watermelon spray paint. I love this colour. It's s-o-o-o delicious! When I finished spray painting I really liked it, but I thought it was missing that extra somethin', somethin'.
I dug into my Christmas decorations and found some faux pearl garland and glued that to the inside of the mirror with my glue gun. I used my glue gun because I wanted it to be easily removable in the future.
Here are some close ups.
So you don't have to scroll up, here's the before again.
And here's the after.
I think this mirror is a perfect example of girlification! Is that even a word? No?Well it should be! LOL. This mirror has been seriously girlified! What do you think? Are you a fan of pink?

Oh, that is definitely pink-a-licious!! Love the color and adding the pearls was the icing on the cake!
