Spray Paint Action: Mirror Transformation

I've been clearing out some items in the house. Over the last 10 years, I've seem to have accumulated quite a bit of paint. By a lot, I mean, over 30 cans of paint, numerous cans of spray paint, and a whole box full of painting accoutrement. It's embarrassing.

I did find a can of black spray paint, which started to distract me from cleaning and packing.
Bad, Su! Bad, bad Su!

I decided to give this mirror a little transformation. The mirror was rescued from my friend's house, back in 2001 (gulp!). She was about to throw it out, and even then, my mind rebelled at that idea. This mirror had fit in nicely in my house, even though I never really liked the garish brass and greenish hue to the frame. Once it got hung up though, I never really thought about it again.

That's cheeky Mr. Su in the reflection, teasing me about my need to document everything.

However, with my old spray can in hand, (Does spray paint have an expiry date? Things to ponder!) I gave this mirror a little face lift.






Look at her, all sleek, gorgeous and very modern!

AMAZING! I am going to wander around my house with spray paint in mind and see what I can change up!

I have two mirrors that would look much better in black, great idea.

I love it! I bought a metal cabinet the other day at a flea market that needs a good spraying... I just can't decide what colour. I'm thinking yellow, to match the new bedroom covers. I'm planning on using it to hold the many art supplies I've amassed over the years!

Love what you did! It looks so classy without being garish.
And loved the picture of Mr. Su in his typical "I'm being pensive, and thinking of ways to mock my lovely wife" pose. ;)
