I've been trying to keep myself busy this summer with little projects (if you have any DIY suggestions, let me kn0w), so I'm always on the look out for something I could do. Last night I was reorganizing the stuff I have stored under my bed. (I've become crazy about reorganizing since school let out.) Anyway, I found a set of three picture frames and a mirror tray that my parents gave me forever ago. There wasn't anything wrong with it but the finish wasn't right for my room. So, I remembered seeing a can of spray paint when I was looking for the glue gun the other day, and decided it would be a good project to spray paint it and try to make it useful. A tray for perfumes had been on my list anyway.
I found the tape you use for painting and put a piece of printer paper over the mirror and then taped around all the edges. I was very pleased to see I didn't end up with any paint where it shouldn't be!
This was my outcome. I think it worked out pretty well. (The mirror really doesn't look that dirty in person!)
And here it is being put to use. I haven't decided if I'll end up keeping it in my room, but it was a simple enough project and it's definitely better than having it under my bed for all eternity.
Tomorrow is the day I'm going to rearrange the furniture in my room and go to Ikea. Wish me luck and remember to let me know of any good DIYs.

That tray came out so well. It looks so elegant. I need summer DIY projects as well. My dad bought me a broken little vintage cupboard and I fixed it up, but apart from that I need more projects.
I want that mirror, it would go perfectly in my room.haha.:)SarahD
