Upcycled Mirror


Last year I finally got around to redecorating my daughters bedroom and we picked up some nice bits and bobs at bootsales etc to upcycle.

This is a fab mirror I picked up for £1.50 it was a bit old and tatty but I knew exactly what needed doing to revamp it into something pretty :)


So an afternoon spent sanding it down, priming it then using up some leftover white paint and some lovely cath kidston napkins and modge podge this is the result so much nicer than it was!



It was my first time decoupaging with napkins and modge podge but I have to say its quiet simple and the results are very pleasing.

 
I have a beautiful wooden desk to do up come summer and a fab little chair I rescued from a skip but I will have to wait for summer as no room indoors to be painting big projects !
