Hi all! Since, my bathroom cabinets are done I decided to go ahead and do a little mini make over to my bedroom. My husband went out of town for work the whole week. I thought it was perfect time to do it then.
I have been wanting those sunburst mirrors for a while. After, looking around from store to store the last 3 days I couldn't find them in my price range in silver. Finally, today I had to make a stop to target for something and my mind was telling me to check the wall decor stuff to see if they have a mirror. BOOM!!, I saw this sunburst mirror for $54.99. It was in metal bronze like color. I grabbed it and told myself I will spray paint it Silver!
Brilliant!Idea!
As you can see it has gold color at the tips and around mirror. So, here it is before I started to spray paint it. First, I sanded it very lightly to just take shine out. Then cleaned it very well.
Now here is the 1st coat of spray paint. The gold tips still show a little!
Now here it is after 3 coats of spray paint!!! I LOVE IT! It's everthing I wanted!
I am so excited to see my bedroom slowly coming together.

DIY Bathroom Cabinets makeover!!
I finally decided to stain my bathroom cabinets. After, looking to see what is the best way to stain my cabinets and searching through the internet, I saw most people using the general stain gel Java! I took a risk using another stain from Home Depot called Varathane Wood stain in Kona color and the Polyurethane.
This was the first time using wood stain! As a newbie I am so glad and happy with the results!
I did 2 coats inside the door cabinets and 3 coats on the outside. Along, with 3 coats of Poly!
This wasn't a weekend job! Took a week to do. Make sure you completely let the stain dry well. Same for the Poly. As a newbie I learned a lot on this. Now I know next time I will use cloth instead of
Foam brush. Also, the stain needs a very very thin coat. My first coat took FOREVER to Dry!! It took a good 24 hours.

This was the 2nd coat of stain.

and here is the results!
I love love IT!
I do plan to put wood trim around the mirrors and will change our faucets soon!
Last here is a mini fix I did around the toilet. I put in a shelve but since I space it a little to high I will look for a picture to put under.
Have a blessed day!
