Nearly Free Modern Stye Mirror in Antibes Green

This is the first of 5 very cheap projects I'll be showing before I do my Master Bath reveal.
 
We have an area at our local transfer center (re: garbage dump) where people put things that they would normally donate for someone else to take for free.  I talked about it HERE.  My lovely friend Katie, who calls these places "The Mall", even found an American Girl and gave it to Elsa as a gift. ♥  I also got my husband an expensive squat rack for his workouts, all for FREE!  It's a really neat place...I wish they had these all over the U.S.  

 

Last month I found this little broken clock.  I don't normally snag home decor items, but this had just a bit of the shape that reminded me of the sunburst wall art craze.   The color was a dated rust tone that was popular in the 2000's (is that how best to use that time period?...it's not as easy as saying the 90's, haha)

 

I removed all of the clock hardware and used some yellow craft paint around the edges for contrast.  The whole piece was painted with Antibes ASCP and then I did a teeny bit of distressing to reveal the yellow undercoat.

When the paint was dry, I hot glued a 12" craft mirror from JoAnn's (about $4 with my 40% off coupon) and hung this beauty up!  Super easy and super cheap.


LOVE the Antibes Green color!  I'm using it as the dominant accent color in my bathroom.

It's added a bright touch with fun personality to the space.


 Stay tuned to see the rest of my little projects followed by a Master Bath reveal next week.
