DIY Anthropologie Inspired Mirror

Turn any mirror into an ornate gold mirror with some appliques and a little spray paint. Such an easy Athro mirror hack!

Last year we finally got our hands on an Anthro copycat mirror from a deal site. It was less than $150 and we’ve been asked several times to link it. Since it’s only available a few times a year, we created a quick post on a variety of gold mirrors, including the beloved Anthro Primrose mirror. SWOON!

Last month, my neighbor sold me a $40 mirror that sat in my laundry room for weeks. We were invited to participate in a fun Dupe Day on Instagram which motivated us to glue some appliques to dress up the plain Jane mirror. We love how it turned out!
