I love what you do. I also have the Ryobi and love it! It’s mighty cold here in Buffalo NY, so I have to hold off on many projects but can’t wait to jump in and spend my time re-doing and repurposing things. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your mirrors look great! Nice work! Hard to believe the are plastic until you show the back.

Beautiful, as usual, Gail!
I’ve never used any chalk paint of any kind… store bought or homemade. Of course the paint projects I typically do don’t involve a lot of paint. 🙂

Gail,
What a surprise to see my comment here on your post:) Both of your mirrors turned out great and I am sure they will go fast. These plastic frames that we update, do look darn good.I have made homemade chalk paint, and it didn't go very well:(

Blessings,
Linda

Another fabulous makeover; what a huge difference paint can make. This project was a real labor of love and I certainly understand your need to get it right. Now they’re all ready for a new home and you don’t have to worry about a mirror mishap.

Love reading about your transformation projects. Would never have thought that plastic can turn into something decent, but in your hands it seems anything is possible! BTW, do you usually leave the backs unpainted?

I just passed up a beautiful mirror because it was plastic and now I’m kickin’ myself cause these turned out so great! I’ve been experimenting with chalk paint using ooops paint from Menards (it’s only $1 for a quart!) and Plaster of Paris I bought at a yard sale for .50. I just finished a side-table turned dog bed for a friend using the chalk paint and wax and it turned out pretty darn good. I’ll be blogging about it soon.
