Knock-Off Mirror for Girl's Bedroom - ORC: Week 3

Week Three of the One Room Challenge is upon us folks! Need I say more?

 Between my daughter taking the Milestones exams and my son celebrating his birthday last week, I barely got anything done.

On another note, I fell in love with this wood beaded mirror and figured I could get away with a knock-off version except that mine is rectangular. 

Personally, I think every princess deserves a full-length mirror in their bedroom, particularly for function.

And because pretty girls are the happiest, pretty rooms are necessary to keep them glowing. A beautifully designed frame adds style to a space, creating the perfect look of elegance. Also, if mirror frames are elaborate in design, they can improve a young lady's smile, which will be evident upon approach (... just made that up) 😀.

For starters, I picked up this very inexpensive mirror, deciding to customize it. 

I ordered ping-pong balls online to mimic the look of the large beads in my inspiration photo. Afterwards, I simply went to town with my trusty glue gun.

I worked my way around the perimeter of the frame while carefully hot-gluing each ball into place. (I sincerely apologize for the poor picture quality of these photos as I did them in a rush).

And there she is 123 balls later, my very own knock-off mirror, just waiting to be spray-painted to achieve a bit more visual appeal.

Edited: By the way, I received this beautiful capiz pendant for the room and I'm loving it. Hopefully, I'll get it hung next week - fingers crossed.
