This is the mirror that I blogged about here. I almost did not go back and get this mirror. Boy, am I glad I did. I love it! Did you know that I talk to my furniture? Yes, sometimes I do. It helps me to keep a positive attitude when my “work in progress” is not working so well. If it can go wrong, it usually does. This mirror was no exception. It was sad and neglected but now it is shiny and vibrant. I can’t wait for my next project!

Christy! I love it! Spray paint is one of my best friends. This turned out gorgeous. No way it it's a $10 mirror now!
I'll be featuring your projects! I'll keep you posted!

Your mirror turned out great!
Ooh ooh ooh, it turned out so lovely. That mirror new would be $250 easy. Yay, spray paint!
Lovely! :) So glad you went back for it. :)
I am so jealous. It was really a great find.
Fabulous mirror, glad that you 'saved' it!
I knew you would turn that into something FABULOUS and AMAZING... seriously sweet. And I love that Halloween count down... Pottery Barn or did you make it yourself? I'm already thinking about Christmas advent. Whhoooo hooooo come one, you aren't really wishing Vday was here are you??
That mirror is just gorgeous! I love the ornate details on the top. It's a good thing you went back to pick it up. That would've been a regret-worthy mirror.
That turned out cute!!! Great Job!
SHUT UP! You have to come over to see the miror I did a few post back. I LOVE THIS. I was going by our HFH store this week and I'll be looking for mirrors too! FABULOUS!
ooooo i LOVE it!
Oh what a pretty mirror! Love it!
Blessings,

Love your mirror!! I'm so jealous. I've had my eye out for something similar for so long, and still...nothing. I thought I had found the perfect one on Craigslist, but when I called, it was already sold. :( Yours turned out great!
Super pretty! Great job :)
Love this!! What a great find...lucky you!!! Way to go!!

It never ceases to amaze me the difference a coat of paint can make! Awesome transformation!
What a gorgeous mirror, it looks so lovely painted white.

The mirror is fabulous! You did a great job. It's amazing what a little paint and some elbow grease will do. I hope you show pics when you have it up!
Is this mirror plastic - oops, I mean resin, which I think is the now politically correct term....
I picked up a big scrolled oval shaped RESIN mirror at an outdoor flea a few weeks back for $5. Near perfect, all I need to do is paint it. I have seen similar one's painted white or some fun color, but I have also seen them left their original gold in some settings. I don't know what to do, still thinking.....I have an old can of "Carnation" pink enamel paint sitting around, and I am so tempted to take the fun route...I can always re-do it if it is too much "fun", ya know?
