I have a very old thrifted bedroom mirror that I knew I wasn’t going to use in my bedroom any longer.

Enter chalk paint and furniture transfers!

This was such a fun and easy makeover!

Supplies:

  • All that is needed is an old mirror of any kind you have in your closet or find in a thrift store
  • Chalk style paint
  • Furniture transfers

  • I started by cleaning the mirror and lightly sanding it to get the paint to adhere easier
  • Then chose my paint ! In this case I just used a white ish cream chalk paint I had on hand
  • Then I cut out a furniture transfer I had on hand from a previous project I was working on

If you are interested in finding a cute furniture transfer, I have a link for you here to some very pretty ones!

Transfer

I like to cut around the design with scissors to get it as close to the design as possible.

Then use painters tape to tape the design on the mirror where I would like it placed.

Then I use my straight edge to burnish down the transfer. It looks so cute!

Distress

After painting I took a sanding block and lightly sanded the edges and the corners of my mirror for a slightly older vintage look!
