Every girl dreams of a stylish cosmetic mirror with lights, like in the dressing room of world stars, but buying such a piece of furniture is quite expensive.
You can make a beautiful dressing mirror with your own hands from an old Soviet dressing table.
For convenient work, the dressing table must be disassembled: remove the mirrors, doors, back wall, hinges, legs and other parts.
A varnished surface can be painted even without removing the varnish. This requires special materials: adhesion primer, chalk paint and matte varnish, which will protect the paint from abrasion and scratching.
The surface must be prepared for priming using a grinding machine or sandpaper. This will help improve the adhesion of the primer to the surface.
Adhesion primer lays down perfectly on the surface and covers the dark color of the wood.

After the primer has completely dried, you can move on to painting the parts with chalk paint.

To decorate the mirror, you will need decorative bulbs. The most convenient way to attach them is with double-sided tape. The wires can be attached to the back wall of the dressing table with a glue gun.
To make the dressing table more functional, you can organize a system for storing a hair dryer, combs, and other small items on the back wall.
You can easily make a small chest of drawers for jewelry and cosmetics from transparent boxes that you can buy at FIXPRICE. Just paint the boxes white and gold so that they match the dressing table and glue them together.
