Mirror, mirror on the wall

What a fun project this was.  The goal was to personalize a mirror for our bedroom.  When I found this colorful one on clearance at Hobby Lobby in the spring, I bought it and it sat in a closet for a few months before I decided what to do with it.

Repaint the black with Glossy Black.

Tada! I like it.  Here it is hanging in our bedroom.
