{Feeling Crafty}

Today I'm linking up with Marie at Blooming Homestead for

I've done about 2 different crafts lately but I'll only talk about 1 at a time. This is so I'll have plenty to talk about on upcoming Crafty Tuesday linkups.  :)
So, the craft I'm most proud of is the mirror I spray painted.  I know, not very original, but I'm very proud of it!  I found this mirror at the thrift store and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to spray paint it. What I didn't know, however, was what color or where I'd put it. So, I've actually had this mirror since November of 2012!

After speaking with a co-worker about this mirror, it finally dawned on me as to what color it should be and where it should go. So, I headed to my nearest Hobby Lobby and bought some black glossy spray paint.

I didn't take pictures of each step, but I was able to easily unscrew the back off the frame so I didn't have to tape anything up. I could just then paint the frame itself with no worries.

After spraying the heck out of this and letting it dry, I am completely happy with the finished product.

What I really like is that some of the gold shows through. I wasn't expecting that but should have been since I didn't sand it down or anything.

I have to say, I sent these pictures to my parents and they both said I should have colored the rose a different color since it looks morbid having a black rose. I say, no way. I think it's perfect the way it is.

And, now it sits perfectly in my hallway. 

I also picked up that black fleur-de-lis at Hobby Lobby once I decided what I was going to do.

I think it all came together nicely.

Oh, and that shelf I've had for a few years now but it comes from Hobby Lobby as well.

I may, or may not, have an obsession with Hobby Lobby.
