Monday projects are simple, easy, and quick to see results. Monday always sneaks up on me because Jason works Tuesday-Saturday, so the real "weekend" in our house is Sunday/Monday. But still, it is the beginning of the week for everyone else, and I want to start it off right and get things done!
The other day I ran into Goodwill and of course spent way more time there than I planned to, but I scored this mirror for half off the $2.99 price tag. I don't really
need it, but it was $1.50, so I figured I ought to take advantage.
So, I gave it a simple coat of gold spray paint, and ta-da! It goes with the gold frame and square picture I have hanging on the wall on the way out of our bedroom.
It goes with the other Goodwill gold mirror I have in the bedroom, this gem I found for another $2.99 at another Goodwill a while ago and loooove above the bed. See it in the reflection?
Except it has a great caning/woven texture to it.
At Goodwill the other day, I also bought this
fabulous electric clock for $3.99. It's so old, it has a power cord! It still works just great. The second hand slides around, rather than ticking, which is different but kind of nice. I has a shabby chic Anthropologie-ey look already, with the chipping paint that someone obviously applied after-market, so I figured, how much worse could it look if I paint it?
I taped up the face carefully to ready it for spray painting, and then gave it an even coat of bright yellow and a speckledy coat of white.
What about you? Have you done any easy, get-it-out-of-the-way Monday projects today to get your week started?
