Mirror Overlay

My day off today was spent wracking my brain for a project to do. I spent hours scouring Pinterest for some inspiration and ultimately I think I was just overloaded with ideas and too overwhelmed to pick one. I started searching through my house for materials that might inspire me when I came across the leftover acetate paper from my Furniture Facelift. Something clicked in my brain and I decided to see how it would look overlaid onto the mirrors on my armoire - also featured in my first post on Fabric Lined Drawers. 

Supplies:

Acetate paper

Mirror with frame

Ruler

Scissors

Marker

Here it is again! This poor piece of furniture just can't be left alone!

Already liking the way this is looking!

First I measured out the width and added a 1/2 inch so that the sides would stay put behind the frame.

Measuring out my strips of acetate paper.

Cutting them down to size.

To put them in, I just pushed the paper in from the front, no need to take this apart!

The paper adds a fun pop of visual texture without completely taking away from the mirror. 

As you can see, it plays perfectly off my comforter too! This project seriously only took me ten minutes... unbelievably simple for such a dramatic outcome.
