Mirror

This is in our backyard
The first time I've used it( and second time I've been in there since we've moved) was this weekend. I have a feeling this will be the place where I do a lot of projects!
I spray painted the mirror I bought (see two posts below) and it turned out great! This workshop was the perfect place to do it in--I didn't worry about wind, dirt, etc. I was even able to put the baby monitor in there and work while Charlie was taking a nap!

I used two poster boards to slip under the frame of the mirror. That way I could spray like crazy and didn't have to worry about my aim...
...as you can see, my aim isn't that great.
(I still got a tiny bit of paint on the mirror. But it's right on the edge and is hardly noticeable. Note to self: use tape AND paper next time)
Here's the finished product...
I'm still not quite sure what will go up on the mantle, but I like this for now.
I love that white pitcher and think flowers will look beautiful in it.

Considering the spray paint was $4, I think this was a great way to turn the old mirror into something I really love.

I'll be doing the shelves next!

You are so inspiring! :) I love that little workshop...that would be so fun! I'm completely jealous. I would turn it into a craft room/photo studio lol. I LOVE all your projects and can't wait to see more pictures as they get finished!
