I have been obsessed with finding an ornate oval mirror since running into this post over at Tres Chere. Angie and Debbie are so talent when it comes to interior decor. I do not have that gift and I find it amazing the budget finds these two throw together so elegantly. Here is the mirror that started my mission to score one for the bedroom I am redecorating. Will you look at the lovely accessories?! Oh dang. I just became fixated on the chandelier. New obsession.
After scavenging all the thrift stores and garage sales scaling three cities, I finally found this little jewel for $15! I was just about to give up when I stopped at a small town flea market overflowing with well priced vintage goods.
I brought her home, took the mirror out of the frame. Then I cleaned the empty frame with soap and water. Sprayed on a coat of primer, let that dry and spray painted the lovely yellow (Krylon Indoor/Outdoor “Bright Idea”) you see in the final piece. Super fast, cheap, way cool.
Off to find a chandelier. Suggestions?
Thank you so much for using our mirror as your inspiration! You are so sweet! Have a fabulous week!

I am still looking for an oval mirror like that. In fact, I am going garage sale-ing today.

I really love everything about this mirror. The color is perfect! I have been searching for a perfect mirror like this too, but yet to have your luck! Thanks for sharing!
I have an identical mirror I spray painted too! I painted mine blue, but i’m feeling a change coming up… i’m thinking RED. Check out my blog @littlekatieontheprairie.blogspot.com to see. Thanks for sharing!
Love it! It caught my eye from Miss Mustard Seed. Very cheerful. 🙂

I have also been obsessed with ornate mirrors and scouring thrift stores hard core…unfortunately I have yet to find one. I love the bright, happy color you spray painted your awesome mirror! Wish me luck as I continue my hunt.
