One of many

I LOVE MIRRORS!

They are easy to find, cheap, and fast. What isn't to love about them?! I found this beauty while standing in line at my local thrift store. I paid roughly $10 for it with a coupon the nice lady in front of me donated to my cause. So great! Please excuse my picture taking skills. I realize they're off center or whatever. Just pretend like you don't notice!

Here she is before. Sexy right?

Primed with some Kilz...

Aaand the color of choice?! Yellow. I used Sun Yellow by Krylon in gloss. I picked it out late at night...and a boy helped me choose. I don't know why, but picking colors is the hardest thing ever! It's probably because I don't plan to keep most of the things I paint and somebody else might not like it. That's no reason to have somebody practically hold my hand while I choose though! I just have to calmly tell myself that a can of spray paint is about $3 and I can start over if I have to. It's very grown up of me :).

I almost forgot a picture of it before the glazing took place. Here it is..

Glazing stuff is lovely. It hides all your painting mistakes (because yes, I'm not that careful all the time), it makes your super bright yellow mirror a little less shocking, and it also makes the detail stand out beautifully. Glazing is my bff. I'm not a big tutorial-making person, but this lady is all about it and you can see her glazing tutorial here. Keep in mind she is well practiced...and she makes my stuff look like a 10 year old did it. I promise, I really did try my best!

Glazing solves all color woes. I used a Martha Stuart glaze mixed with a sample of MS black paint in eggshell. Home Depot makes my dreams come true.

If I had a yellow and gray bedroom, I would totally keep this thing! But I have no place for it...and it doesn't match a single thing in my house. Who chose yellow again?! Haha I'm selling it for $45 if anybody in the Salt Lake area would like to take it off my hands.
