Something I accomplished over my 10 day vacation:

Dressed up my boring old huge wall mirror above the bathroom vanity with a decal.

Super simple idea. Slight pain in the ass, (because I’m a perfectionist but not at all perfect). And super cute in the end, in my opinion.

I got the idea from a picture I found during a web search, but for the life of me, I cannot find it again :/ So, sorry to whoever I stole the idea from. I will credit you if I ever find you again. I bought the wall decal from an eBay store called Art Wall Project. When I got the thing I was so confident I knew what I was doing because in High school and a bit beyond I worked at Pottery Barn, and part of my job was to do the front window decals. Which is the exact same thing. I scanned over the instructions and declared “Oh, I’ve totally done this a ton of times” and tossed them aside. Idiot. Flash to me crying because this decal that I just spent $30.00 and I was sooo excited about was not sticking because I peeled off the wrong side! and was trying to stick the decal on the mirror by the non sticky side. Yeah, I’m a god damn genious.

Anywho, Jeremy came and help me carefully put it back on the right sheet and peel off the backing. Finally got it up. It didn’t take long at all. It would have taken even less time, if I wasn’t so self righteous and just paid attention to the instruction in the first place. There are a few imperfect spots, little wrinkles or bubbles toward the bottom (But, the top actually is PERFECT), and it’s ever so slightly off center. None the less, I’m totally happy with it.
