REFINED VINES

A plain mirror and dresser
become an elegant
matched set, thanks to
botanical accents
and chalk paint. “Its matte
finish makes things look
aged,” says home editor
Lorna Aragon. Paint vines
and furniture separately,
and once both are dry,
secure them using a caulk
gun loaded with
heavy-duty construction
adhesive.


TIP: Before you paint,
lay the mirror and
drawers on the floor to map
out vine placement.
