Copper Mirror


Copper and rose gold metallic tones seem to be having a moment. So when I found a cheap black mirror at Target, I thought, why not paint it copper? So I did...

After











DIY Tips:

  • Spray paint has an annoying way of getting into the smallest of spaces. Make sure you tape off and tightly cover anything you don't want painted. But...if your excitement gets the better of you and you don't cover everything perfectly, a razor can be used to scrape off any rogue paint. Just be gentle. 
  • Rust-oleum makes really good metallic spray paint. I recommend it! (Especially in the "copper")
  • Let it dry fully! Embedded finger prints aren't cute...trust me.

I feel that this mirror has lent a Moroccan feel to our bathroom, and I love it.

Have any DIY's that you are working on? Let me know!

Til next time.
