DiSTRESSed....

I've been running off some stress lately. Lost some weight already so maybe the stress is doing me some good. :)


Well onto my project - I bought this mirror from Goodwill a few months back (for $8) and decided that I wanted some color in my life.


This is the only "before" picture I could find. We taped it and spray painted it. (a few times) I couldn't make up my mind :)

















I decided on a turquoise. Just fun and beautiful. I wanted a distressed look so I decided to sand it down in areas to make it look worn.





















Then I added a distressing ink in a chocolate color.




















This is what it looked like after.
















Full thing. (puppy's feet in the mirror:)






















I've never distressed anything before and I LOVE how it turned out.




Now that it's winter the sun has been rising right out our living room window.

















I'll miss our view when we leave.




Hope everyone has a great long weekend.
