Updated Old Mirror

Hi all,
I had an old yucky green framed mirror and decided to give it a face lift.
Sprayed it with a can of cream spray paint, sanded some areas back ( for the 'distressed' look) and stuck on an artifical flower and a hand sewn fabric heart. See what ya think...........

Hi mansa6, well done on your restoration project. Always a great sense of satisfaction in restoring/upcycling something. For Christmas you could change the hanging cord to Red and add a sprig of holly or some baubles--a lovely seasonal welcome in your hallway when guests arrive. Well done, Eibhlin.
