Hi friends! Today I have a sweet makeover for you!
Last weekend I found this mirror at a thrift store:
Nothing fancy, but it was in good shape and for $15 I figured at the very least I could paint it.
But then just as I was dozing off I had an idea! I really need to put a post it pad under my pillow because that always happens.
Yesterday I gave a little hint…
I did paint it, but I also added drop cloth rosettes to it!
How cute is that?
I made the same rosettes I used on my Mini Drop cloth Rosette Stool Makeover.
I made a video on how to make them if you’re interested.
Nothing fancy for sure, I didn’t even take time to put on lip gloss or change from my painting clothes, because my kids were playing in the snow and I knew I had about fifteen minutes of quiet! It might be fun just to put a voice to my words. 🙂
Here is also a step-by-step to PIN for later:
After painting in Cottage White (Behr) DIY Chalk paint, I sanded and waxed with Annie Sloan clear soft wax. Then I used hot glue to attach the rosettes.
I took a photo or 50 on this side of the room too, but look what I found…
Caught my sweet kitty snoozing. This is one of her favorite spots.
Almost makes me wish I had a little girl’s room to decorate! I wouldn’t trade my boys for anything of course, just want to decorate girly. Guess I’ll have to wait for granddaughters. 🙂
It’s the last Friday of the month so you know what that means? This makeover is for our Get Your DIY On Party! If you’re a new follower, welcome!! You can follow the link to find out more about our monthly party.

Dorene@ Seasonal Chapters says
I love how this turned out. I have been wanting to try to make your drop cloth rosettes ever since I had read your post about the stool makeover. I hadn’t gotten around to making them yet, but seeing this newest project of yours inspired me to put it at the top of my craft “to do” list. I just happen to have some spare drop cloths, so I might have to make some rosettes this weekend.
Christy K. James says
Oh yes, do it! I want to add rosettes to everything now! I’d love to see what you come up with if you feel like sharing. Watch those finger tips. 🙂
Joanne Boulter says
Oh Christy, your mirror turn out so beautiful!!!! What a transformation. You should be winning awards for your creations! Great good. Jo
Christy K. James says
Aww shucks, Joanne…now you’re making me blush! But I appreciate the sweet words so much. I love this too…just dropped it off at my booth and was a bit sad to leave it behind! Have a great weekend. 🙂
Heather @ Viral Upcycle says
Yes I saw that yesterday.. I really like the shabby vintage look to them! So cute. And yes I have gotten so many blisters from hot glue, use with caution definitely.
Christy K. James says
Yes that hot glue can be debilitating! I had a better time with it this go round though. 🙂
Celia says
Hi Christy,
Love the mirror, so sweet! I have 3 girls and they would love a mirror like that. I am going to have to try this project!
Celia
Christy K. James says
Thanks, Celia! I wouldn’t trade my boys for anything in the world, but I’d love to decorate a little girls room and I bet they are so sassy and fun! XO
Celia says
Hi Christy,
I also have 2 boys. One thing about boys when you decorate their room they are done. Girls are like us always wanting to change things up. 🙂
Christy K. James says
Ha ha never thought of that! And I’m sure they don’t always want to go along with what mama wants. 🙂
Sue Farmer says
Love the rosette mirror!! Would be great for a little girl’s room. LOL your dryer buzzing during the video!!
Christy K. James says
Thanks, Sue! I only had a short window since the boys were outside in the snow, so I had to go with it, dryer and all. My dishwasher was whistling in the background too. 🙂
Marie@The Interior Frugalista says
Your creativity astonishes me Christy. That mirror is gorgeous with a capital G!

Tina Matteson says
I love this! When you first shared your rosette stool I planned to make one and then forgot about it till today! I will definitely be making one soon! Thank you for all your great ideas.
Christy K. James says
Thanks, Tina! I hope you’ll try it soon. I keep looking around to see what else I can add these rosettes to. 🙂
