Sponge-Painted Metal Mirror

When you reinvent a room accessory with paint, you can save money and get decor that’s completely unique! That’s exactly what we decided to do with a dark metal mirror.

Metallic Makeover. To give the piece a new life, we started by masking the mirrored portions with painter’s tape. Then we applied green metallic glaze with a sponge (inset photo). The result is a lighter, brighter accessory that matches the room perfectly!
