Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Ever since I saw Mandi's Great Wall of Mirrors almost ii years ago, I knew I wanted to create something similar it someday.  Well, someday has come!  

I started collecting mirrors hither as well as there, exactly a few weeks agone had a bang-up thrifting twenty-four hr catamenia where I constitute several of the in conclusion larger pieces that I needed to describe it all together.  I gave yous a sneak peek  of what I was upwards to before this week, as well as then here's the whole thing!

When trying to create upwards one's heed where to locate this wall of mirrors, I finally came upwards amongst this wall that frames the laundry room inwards the hallway that leads to the kids' rooms.  It's pretty dark, fifty-fifty amongst the tin lighting, as well as then I idea a mirror (or 23) would aid to bounce some lite some as well as lighten things up.  Also, I've e'er had a large mirror inwards the breakfast room, exactly since adding a botanical gallery wall inwards that location we've missed having a mirror handy to banking corporation represent before walking out the door.  This location inwards the hall serves that role perfectly. 

I tried out lots

as well as lots

as well as lots

of dissimilar arrangements before deciding on the in conclusion gild that I wanted.  Even ane time I began hanging them up, I switched a few things some from the intended layout.

I was craving a projection using kelly greenish rather than my normal to a greater extent than mossy greenish that I accept inwards the balance of my house, as well as then I went for it on the frames here.  I think I'm liking it exactly it's non also hard to modify some twenty-four hr catamenia if I desire to.  

The hazards of spray paint-and that was later ii scrubbings!

This was a fairly budget friendly project.  All exactly the iii fiddling circular ones as well as the Victorian type frame inwards the bottom left corner came from thrift stores, garage sales, or my attic.  I likely spent to a greater extent than on the 4-5 cans of pigment than whatsoever of the private mirrors.  

By the way, the pigment is Valspar's Luscious Green.  This is the get-go fourth dimension I've used Valspar spray paint, as well as honestly, I didn't actually similar it.  I idea the nozzle was also hard to spray as well as it dripped a lot.  Just my opinion...I'll likely endeavour to stick amongst Krylon or Rustoleum inwards the future.

I've told Emily to lookout out, nosotros tin proceed an oculus on her inwards her room from all the means some the corner now.  :)

Here's the reckon from closer to the front end door:

And, I actually liked Mandi's photograph of her toll breakdown, as well as then I'll create the same here:
   

Pretty large tilt for less than $100, huh?


Many were regular frames that I added a mirror to, which brought the toll upwards a bit.  Hobby Lobby had some of the sizes I needed, exactly I had to larn iii or 4 cutting at a drinking glass shop.  I used the method I showed you for those I added the mirror to myself.
