mini medicine cabinet makeover

March 26, 2012 by jeanie 4 Comments

metal medicine cabinet makeover - before

Have you ever had one of those interior decor epiphanies after looking at same design element for the 6205th time?  Recently I noticed all the potential hair images I had been collecting years ago and realized that with Pinterest, these dusty & outdated tearsheets were obsolete.  What I really needed was a better way to store my growing collection of stylish hair accessories from Dollsville.

After doing a quick strength test using a mighty magnet, my plan to re-purpose the interior side of the metal medicine cabinet door materialized.  This 5 minute makeover requires just 2 (that’s it, 2!) household items: 1 sheet of quality wrapping paper & spray adhesive.  It could probably be done with double stick tape.

 

step 1 – clean the metal side of the mirror thoroughly

step 2 – using a low tack spray adhesive cover the entire mirror back

step 3 – gingerly apply the decorative paper to the sprayed area

step 4 – smooth w/ burnisher or ruler

step 5 – using an x-acto knife or blade trim excess paper away from the edge

step 6 – admire your handy work

 

If giant sparkly floral headpeices aren’t your thing, then add mini magnetic hooks to hang bracelets and delicate necklaces that get knotted in the jewelry drawer.

xxoo.

    I tend not to leave a leave a response, however after reading a bunch
    of responses on mini medicine cabinet makeover. I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not
    to mind. Is it only me or do some of the responses come across like they are left by brain dead individuals?
    😛 And, if you are writing on other social sites, I’d like to keep up with you.
    Could you post a list of every one of all your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
