Makeover

This is one of the first steps toward adding some decor to the girls' room. This blog post that I discovered via Pinterest is the inspiration.

The mirror was a Good Will find ($1.99) and is made of a plastic resin. First step was finding some paint. B was with me and we were hoping for something a little brighter, but this turned out OK. Next, remove the mirror which was simple. Then, cleaning it, which was the trickiest part because there was dust in all those little holes. Finally, painting, which I was able to do in the front yard, since we seem to have completely bypassed the usual Midwest spring and gone straight to summer. Once it dried, the mirror was replaced and it is ready to hang!
