I will show you how I painted a thrifted goodwill mirror!
I found this gorgeous thrifted mirror at Goodwill a few months ago. The price tag read $12, but I had a dollar off coupon, so I got it for $11. (Duh. Sorry if I just insulted your intelligence.)
At first the mirror looked like this:
Well, ok, it didn’t have blue painter’s tape on it…I added that.
First, I painted it a soft gray. “Fieldstone” by Benjamin Moore to be exact. I used a latex eggshell finish.
I actually left the mirror this way for awhile. I liked it, but then we painted our walls charcoal gray, so it needed a coat of airy white over the top.
So, next I painted a layer of American Accent’s Heirloom White over the gray. I wanted some of the soft gray to show through, so I lightly sanded the edges. Just a hint of the color can be seen in the detailing of the mirror. It’s perfect with the gray wall paint.
Perfect! (I had to move all of Miss L’s toys out of the way, so that you wouldn’t see them in the reflection of the mirror!)
Another Goodwill success story in the books!
Have a great day! 🙂
GW rocks! Especially when you can make a change so easily and have your thrifted item look like high-end product!!
You can’t go wrong painting a mirror white. The white looks great on your gray walls.
I like the mirror in both grey and white! It looks great….
I love goodwill/thrift finds….I don’t feel so guilty shopping all the time if I throw a little goodwill into the mix!! I actually have a mirror from there that I painted gold but thinking it might need to change…..another project for another day!
Have a good one!
I totally agree! Goodwill shopping = guilt free shopping! 🙂
You had me at “Goodwill”! 🙂 Happy to be a new follower, thanks for stopping my little blog earlier in the week!
