12 Ways to Update a Mirror

One of my decorating weaknesses is mirrors.  Someday in our next house (if I have a giant wall somewhere) I’m going to make a huge gallery wall of just mirrors.  I love vintage ornate frames and I love how mirrors reflect light to make a room seem larger.  I’ve updated a few mirrors and even upcycled a boring mirror into something else- there are many options for making over a mirror or its frame!  Below are 12 creative DIY’s to help inspire you to buy an ugly mirror at Goodwill or pull out that unused mirror hiding in your garage- and give it new life as something fresh and beautiful.  Good luck with your makeovers!

The links below will take you directly to the tutorial on that blog.
