Thrifted mirror DIY


I purchased an old, gold and gaudy mirror at a thrift shop a couple weeks ago and thought it would make a really cool accent piece if painted a brighter than normal color. It turned out awesome and it was super easy. 


All I needed to do was remove the mirror piece from the frame. Mine used micro nails to secure it, so I simply removed those with the ply of a hammer and then painted the frame with a red clay spray paint. (Colors that I think would be cool for a piece like this would be bright, like red, burnt orange, mint, turquoise or teal, black, plum and maroon.) 

After the paint dried I replaced the mirror, fastened with new nails, and wah-la! A completely modern, refurbished art piece.
