Ikea mirror makeover

I've had one of these Malma mirrors from Ikea sitting around forever. After seeing this post from My Sweet Savannah I knew exactly what to do with it!

I started out by covering up the mirror with a little painter's tape and giving it a few coats of Heirloom white. Followed by a little sanding and then some dark gel stain to age it a bit.



I decided to use one of these fleur de lis wooden accents I purchased a few months back at a local craft store. I followed the same process with the fleur de lis as I did with the mirror.



Once both pieces were aged and distressed enough for my liking I used a little liquid nails to attach the fleur de lis to the top of the mirror. Here's the final result. What a difference it makes!
