I love recycling old home decor. Recently I decided to recycle some old mirrors I picked up at a garage sale a few years ago. The mirrors were stowed away in my attic, until I had an idea of how to update them. My mirrors were already painted white, so I was able to skip that step and move on to the taping.
Use painters tape or masking tape to create the design you want on your frame.
Paint your frames. I chose yellow and grey to go with the color scheme in my daughter’s room.
After the paint dried, I used sandpaper to rough up the wood. I wanted to give it a well-worn look.
And that’s it! It was a pretty quick and easy project and the best part is that it was free because I used items I already had. And it was a good way to tie in some colors from her art wall.

great idea!
All clones. I had a blast mniakg this. Believe it or not, it’s just two mirrors. I held them together at the top and separated them at the bottom to get this effect. The closer together they were, the more reflection I got in the middle! I’m going to experiment some more with these.
Johan Liljegren November 13, 2007 Jeff,Great to get some new blog tips! However, the link to Matt Evans’ The Admin Exchange is most likely inrercoct, as it is the same as the one to Salesforce Times.My Google karma doesn’t give me any tips on where to find it either. Do you have an updated link to it?Regards//Johan
I love this. I still have a hard time visualizing how you set it up, but the reltuss are awesome. Looks like a fun day off. I hope you got some rest, too.
