I spray painted the mirror with two coats. I didn't want the mirror a solid yellow so I let hints of the original gold to shine through. By not adding the third coat it makes it appear like it was meant to be this color.
I love how it adds some Sunshine to our outdoor space. Even when it is overcast, it still looks bright and sunny.
For the fabric, I used a bright and colorful piece of Vintage fabric that was handmade in Finland. It was paired with a black and white patterned fabric which adds an interesting contrast to the bright colors.
If I ever get sick of the bright yellow..no worries it can be repainted. Don't be scared of color. Take a chance. It's just paint, right? :-)
Until next time.....

That mirror is gorgeous!!! Yellow was the perfect color for it.
Ahh! You guys are just too cute, I love all the colors you use!! Love the mirror!
I actually said, "Oh!" when I saw your mirror in its new color. Nicely done you clever woman. LOVE it with your floral pillow and black and white print.
It IS like sunshine in a spray can. Love the color and the whole outdoorsy look... so much better than actually going outside where it's hot or cold or wet or buggy!

Love that yellow! Definitely updates the mirror. What a happy little nook... that vintage fabric is charming, too.
I wish we could get some of your rain. It has been horrible here in Texas.
But your outdoor area would brighten up any space! Love it.
