Mirrored Jewelry Tray

You know those days where you're so tired you literally feel like you just can't move one more muscle.
You fall into bed, barely remember to set the alarm then roll over pretty much asleep already.
That's when you feel the stabbing pain of the earrings you forgot to take off, rip them out of your ears, throw them on the night stand and forget the world.

I live that scenario fairly frequently, and it's usually a day or two later that I realize those earrings I tore off got swept to the floor when I fumbled for that awful alarm clock the next morning.

So when I saw a cheap, plastic framed mirror at the thrift store, I knew what had to be done with it!

Jewelry Tray

I slopped on white paint...

Threw on a splotchy coat of blue...

Wiped it down immediately with a wet paper towel... {left}

Then threw on a very watery coat of ASCP in CoCo... {right}

Wiped that back too with the wet cloth, added some ASCP in clear then dark wax...

And DONE!

Yep, this matches my room much better.

I'm always amazed what you can do with a few layers of paint.

Now let's see if I can actually hit this thing when I throw earrings at it!

While I'm talking about stuff on a bedside table, I should show you what mine looked like when Mr. Concrete brought it home from a yard sale for $15.

Nothing really wrong with it, but the cherry just wasn't working.

And yes, I did snap a picture with no regard to showing you my dust.

I hate dusting.

Obviously!

Don't you think it works so much better in white?
I know I do!

Have an awesome week my peeps!!
