SPRAY PAINT MIRRORS: CREATE DESIGNER WALL DECOR ON A BUDGET

MIRRORS FOR THE WALL DECOR PROJECT

The funky starburst-looking round frames on the mirrors are all the same size but the mirrors themselves aren’t. One of the mirrors is larger than the other two.

I wasn’t sure where I was going with the makeover but I did know I wanted the mirror frames to be white. The gold color wasn't shiny and bright and gave the mirrors a dated look. 

SPRAY PAINT THE MIRRORS

I used my favorite Rustoleum Heirloom Satin spray paint. Spray paint projects are fast and easy and I keep a large selection of spray paint in my workshop.

Once the spray painted frames were good and dry, I reattached the mirrors and the backs to the frames. I brought the mirrors into the house and laid them on the dresser in the back bedroom and that's where they sat for a month.

ATTACH MIRRORS TO THE WOOD FRAME

Because the cowboy hat was so lightweight I attached it to the wood frame with sticky back Velcro so removing the hat was easy. I measured the frame, centered the middle mirror, and attached it using my nail gun.
