I have slowly been trying to come up with clever decor to hang on the wall of my and Amazing Boyfriend's bedroom/living space. ABF is always appreciative of decor that is unique and a little different and he hates blank walls as much as I do.
I was trying to come up with something clever to hang on the wall right above where we have out laundry sorting bins and couldn't think of anything until I saw this post by Jessica at Hill Country Homebody of her clothespin mirror. It was so cute, how could I not make it.
Although, I did mix it up a bit. (Of course I did, otherwise I wouldn't be me.)
Here's my version of a clothespin mirror...
I used dollpins because I loved the rounded look. I originally spray painted it with Krylon's Ivy Leaf but I didn't like the way that it looked when it was finished. I was torn as to what color I wanted to use, but ended up using Krylon's Watermelon. It turned out so fun! I know Amazing Boyfriend wasn't thrilled about my color choice but I was finished with it and had it hung up before he could voice his opinion. (Hey, I would have asked his opinion but he just happened to be camping the night I decided that my original color choice wasn't right.)

Love the color! Give a pop of color that all rooms need
ReplyDeleteOuh.. This turned out super cute!! Oh shucks about ABF not having a voice in the matter (Yes,that was completely sarcastic, lol). If he chose to go camping without you, he chose to have something like this potentially happen. He should know better. :)
