3. Make a Colorful Leaning Mirror
This screams whimsical Boho style and it's calling out my name. If you want to make one for your home, you will be needing a frame-less door mirror, wooden boards, paint in several lovely colors, and wood stain. The first step is to construct the backing to which you will mount your mirror. You then add your colorful strips and wood stain to give the boards a more beautiful look. Let dry and attach the mirror using wall-mounting clips.

Look at this beautiful leaning floor mirror! If your home has that rustic and natural look, using dark wood stain to frame your DIY mirror is a fantastic idea. Of course, making a mirror with side storage is even more fantastic. We could all use extra storage for the overwhelming number of jewelry that litter our dressers.

5. Add Gold Leaf Paint
This is an easy full-length mirror DIY that you can do to an old piece. Before you add gold leaf paint to the frame, you will want to protect your mirror first. Painter's tape should do it. If you can't find gold leaf paint, some normal metallic variety should work for this project as well.

7. Frame a Mirror with Tiles
This is a beautiful full-length mirror DIY that you can do with the help of 2-inch tiles, wooden trims, and a piece of plywood backing. The mirror used here is also the frame-less kind. It was glued to the plywood and was then framed with wood trim and tiles.
We have an ugly gold-framed floor mirror in our bedroom. I will be giving it a much-needed makeover once I hit publish. I think the chalk paint idea mentioned here would be perfect.
