Birthing an Elephant

After talking about doing this for several years. I have finally published my personal website, Shari By Design. It has links to my products on Etsy. I will post up all my projects there. My new motto is...I am a domestic engineer and you can too!

I have a gift to share with the world. I intend on sharing smart, fun and economical ways to solve life's little problems as well as decorating, sewing, crafting and cooking tips and tricks.

I hope you all stay tuned in the future, and I enjoy getting all your feedback on my endeavors.

100 PoS #61 Decorate the Bathroom

05/02/2010

So yet again, I promised, when we moved into the house two years ago, I was going to redecorate the bathroom. Yea, I got distracted. But I did finally get it done, on the PoS!!! So this project was super cheap and super easy, I bought two square mirrors from wal-mart, they were with the candles, and a package of mirror hangers, (from the hardware department) while I was in the hardware department, I got some paint. Though after doing this, I suggest you get the tiny tubes of paint from the craft section. It really does not take any paint at all to cover the space. I went with the square design because our shower curtain contains squares. I used the same colors that were in the shower curtain. (which is not pictured) Never the less! This would look really great in a brown room, with white and red squares, perhaps with a red shower curtain. Experiment and find what works out best for you.  I have not seen the mirrors online, so here is a link to some just like them.

So all you do it place the mirror on the wall with your hand and trace around it, then trace a line 1/2 inch on the inside of the mirror, and then trace a line 2 inches outside of the mirror. Your first square will be 2 1/2 inches, this is to give a seamless appearance.

Tape your lines, and paint! Then once it is dried, you take the tape off and draw a line 2 inches from your first painted square, tape it on the paint and on the non-painted side, paint.

Once dried, pull off the tape, if you want another square, do it again. I personally like 2 squares on the outside!
