A REALLY GOOD FRIDAY: DIY PEWTER MIRROR RE-DO & GOOD FRIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

All I can say is what a GOOOOOD FRIDAY it was!

HIGHLIGHT #1:

Began the day with sending off my lil man to spend the day tubing with the "Fam".

(You will never meet a little boy that is more "BOY")

HIGHLIGHT #2:

...and then it was just me and my lil "mini-me" :)  I  love having days with my little girl!

HIGHLIGHT #3:

Makeover time!

Taking the mirror off the bathroom wall for some much needed up-dating!

Here's the after...

AHHHH! It needed to be brightened up, BIG TIME!

(details to follow)

and before...

Before wasn't bad..just more brown...blah!

HIGHLIGHT #4

Enjoying the day with the Family!

Crawfish, Crawfish, Crawfish!

It's a southern thing! I'd like to say it's "poor man's lobster" 

(Although it is NOT cheap by any means)

HIGHLIGHT #5;

A much needed Date Night! We watched "Hunger Games"  That was so very needed!! I loved spending time with my man and two other great friends (Evin and my crafter in crime, Sarah). Double dates are GRRRReat!

AND

HIGHLIGHT #6:

WE SOLD OUR CAR...FINALLY! HALLELUYERRR!

Five minutes before leaving on our date someone drives up and Bam! It was sold!

I TOLD YOU IT WAS A REALLY GOOD FRIDAY!

:)

OK, so details on the mirror are:

Super Easy!

Supplies:

1: I used "Shimmering Silver" acrylic paint and put two coats on the mirror. Love using that when I can because it dries so fast.  I didn't want to spray paint, because I wanted it to have a silver leaf kinda look and this was a close match.

2: To get the pewter look I used a 2 inch craft brush and I I glazed over the silver with "Black Coffee" Martha Stewart Metallic Glaze! Gosh, I love this stuff! It takes a while to dry so be patient :)

And that's about it!

It is not a "shindig" of a project but it freshened up the bathroom and really 

looks like POO-ter!

I mean, PEW-TER!

(A LITTLE BATHROOM HUMOR)

HEE HEE

:)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I love free AND easy makeovers, family, friends and crafts!

What a good Friday it was!
