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!


Results
Sure doesn’t take much effort for a beautiful transformation of my mirror makeover ! A little paint and a decorative transfer!
