    I have an easy project today! No tools involved.

     

    old-dresser-mirrorsLast summer while I was out of town, my niece Missy stopped by to take care of things at my house, and noticed these mirrors at a nearby yard sale for $5 each. That’s Missy taking a picture of the mirrors so she can text me.

    one-last-coat-semi-glossEarlier in the Summer I made a DIY hall tree using one of the mirrors, a $2 door and other bits and pieces. (this sold at Glendale)

     

    entryway-table-mirrored-repurposed-doorThis is how it looks up close.

     

    That of course, left one of the mirrors free to do a makeover.

     

    white-dresser-mirrorI painted this old mirror white while I was painting my latest headboard bench with my Homeright Finish Max.

     

    white-dresser-mirror-detailI distressed the white paint lightly with an emery board.

     

    dark-patina-heirloom-traditions-paintThen I used some dark patina and a cheap chip brush to antique the frame of the mirror.

     

    heirloom-traditions-dark-patinaThis is what I used, Dark Antiquing Patina from Heirloom Traditions . It’s very easy to brush on and wipe off, being of a consistency similar of glue.

     

    white-dresser-mirror-distressed-antiquedThis is a picture of the mirror before I cleaned the glass. Because there was still some paint on the mirror, it was easier to take a picture. Winking smile

    This picture was taken from down below to reflect the clouds. It’s so difficult to take a picture of a mirror.

     

    antique-mirror-d-ringsI added d-rings for hanging the mirror on the wall.

      Love the way the Antiquing Patina gave the finish depth & history...I hear you about photographing mirrors! Drives me nuts. I like the way you took shots while the paint was still on the glass. Nicely solved!
