From Drab to Fab: on a Budget
Here you have the before and afters of the two "bigger ticket" items in my living room redo. This little round table was a Goodwill find for $15. Not only is it old, but it has those little curvy feminine details I was going for. I sprayed it with several coats of white spray paint, a coat of ivory, and then a top coat of white. (I think it makes the white look deeper and older to have a layer of ivory underneath the pure white).
And the mirror was a Craiglist find for $30, which is a steal of you've shopped for mirrors lately. (I went to TJMaxx, Marshall's and several second-hand home furnishings stores and the cheapest large mirrors I found were at least $50). I bought it from an elderly couple and it didn't have any scratches or marks on it. Bonus. Again, some spray paint and voila. Rococo-modern mirror.

WOW! These look amazing! That table is so unique! I love it!
Very awesome. Its so amazing what a coat of paint can do.
I LOVE the table!
I love the mirror! I have a gold one like this, maybe I should paint mine black to match my house better. The white is so refreshing and goes great with your new wall decor. Very cute!
Very cool! It looks like a little roccoco creeping into the retro. I like the table. What goes around comes around. Remember the round side table you had last year that I really liked, and you set it out at the curb for the taking? I wanted to get that on the airplane with me so bad.
So cute. I have a gilded gold baroque mirror that I was planning to paint white for baby girl's room, but I think throwing a coat of cream or ivory in there is a great idea to add some depth. Thanks. Love your new wall. And that table!
