I am in the process of redoing my guest bedroom. This will be the first of several posts to come with some of my DIY projects.I'm starting by sharing this antique vanity mirror makeover.


There's a long, sad story about how the mirror got separated from the vanity, but I'll spare you the details. Anyway, in the sad saga, the mirror fell off of the wooden back.

 I didn't need a mirror in the guest room, but saw potential for something awesome using the back. So, I removed the paper that was behind the mirror and began painting the wood with the color Fluff, from the  Dixie Belle Paint Company.

Once I had painted two coats of Fluff,  I added the phrase, "be our guest" by printing out the words and transferring them onto the piece with graphite paper. I filled the transferred letters in using the color, Caviar.

I added three large coat hooks to the bottom of the piece. The hooks didn't come with screws and the ones I had were silver, so I painted over them with more of the Caviar paint.

I love being able to save a piece from the dump! And, this rescued piece is the perfect addition to my guest bedroom.
