.: Upcoming Projects :.

Sooooooooo now that summer is finally here I have a bit more time. Unfortunately I still have class because I am attending summer school this year. However I am only taking one course for the summer semester so that leaves me with more room to blog. I'm hoping to blog more often because I have so many ideas brewing up in my head but I just don't have the time to type them and edit them. (Man youtubers must have it even harder, they have to edit their videos all the time) But I am so excited to share with you guys an upcoming project that I have been working on. I would say the new post will be unveiled in a couple of weeks the latest and will feature a collaboration with a personal friend of mine who may or may not have started their own blog/website by the time my blog post is published. This is something that is really exciting to me because if this works out well, you will definitely expect to see more of this in the coming future with the same collaborator. Keep checking back to see some behind the scenes pictures and snippets in a couple of days! Until next time guys :)

.: DIY - Closet Mirror :.

So my parents recently gave me their master bedroom (my mom thinks it's too loud and sleeps in my sister's room, my dad sleeps in the basement. They don't sleep together, they think each other is too loud) as my new bedroom. Since this hardly ever happens, I decided to use this opportunity to redecorate a new room. Since I'm almost 20 (In June), I wanted to upgrade everything I have into a more mature and minimalist style. (Yes, I've been on Tumblr/ Pinterest a lot) Instead of buying all new furniture, I decided to use my old ones and repurpose them. My first furniture (If you can call it that) is my closet mirror. In my old room, the mirror was behind the closet door and is hidden by the door. but my new closet has two sliding doors so my mirror has to be displayed outside for people to see.

Things you'll need:
- a mirror
 - paint (mine are acrylic)
- paintbrush
- rubbing alcohol (optional, used to wipe your mirror with)
- newspaper (to line your mirror with so that you don't get paint everywhere)
- modge podge (optional, if you want it to have a nice shine to it)

This mirror was purchased many years ago from IKEA and its seen better days. So i decided to give it a fresh coat of paint. The paint I chose is this mint/torquiose crafting paint from Micheals. I pretty much painted two to three coats and painted the frame over with Modge Podge. (This step was optional, but I didn't want my paint to chip so I decided to seal it)

So that's pretty much it for this easy tutorial! I think it turned out rather nice actually. See you guys soon!

Steps:
1. Tape around edges of mirror with scrap paper/ newspaper
2. Clean mirror with rubbing alcohol (Optional)
3. Paint mirror, let dry then paint another coat
4. Seal it up with Modge Podge (Optional)
5. VOILA! you're done! Hang it up!
