Trash to Treasure

Well I finally got my trash to treasure ready to show. I mentioned a few posts back that I was working on something, but I had to wait for my dear husband to get home to help me finish it. This is what it looked like before, of course I had already taken the mirror out, and the hooks were half falling off, so they are already gone. I got it at Hobby Lobby for, get this, $6.99, regularly $79.99. I love a bargain.

Not very much to look at but I love the size and detail of it. So I got out my trusty can of black spray paint and went to spraying. I put the mirror back in and bought new hooks. The hooks were hard to screw in, so my husband did that for me, after numerous times of me trying to get it in myself. With no luck I might add. But I think it took on a whole new look.

And then my husband hung it for me in the foyer. I love a mirror in the foyer for a last look going out the door, also the hooks can come in handy when needed.

This is my first transformation. Let me know what you think. I love transforming anything for the better. Even myself when necessary. Debbie

    Oh my word...what a bargin and from one of my favorite places to boot! You did a great transformation on that...I would have done the exact same thing...I love it black! I have a huge mirror in the living room and I had two old shutters that we took off the house...so I painted them black and Bill put them on both sides of the mirror...I love that look! Man $6.99....what a great deal! Have a great week girl!
