i finished repainting the mirror i had mentioned a few posts earlier, last night! it was a very exciting moment when i realized that i did not have to do "just one more coat".
a few things i realized as i was working: a spray primer, and a light coat of one, was not enough, i should have purchased a paint primer (probably a grey tinted one) to make this easier on myself. lesson learned. and i dont think i really thought about how much detail the frame had, and how much time that would take. for the past two days ive not done much besides paint the mirror frame while ryan has been at work.
would i do it again? in a heartbeat. i love it and i think it will be perfect in her nursery. i want to place it across from the window in there to bounce more light around.
i used olympic paint (no VOC so it was safe to use, but still took breaks and stayed in an open space!) and the coverage was pretty nice!
forget about real paint brushes, after getting the first two-three coats on, a sponge brush and a detailing acrylic brush (thanks to my mom) was all i needed to finish it up!
a reminder of the before:
and after:
i love it and am happy i went with yellow!!!
