Gee whiz - what magic you performed to transform this from the "sows ear into a silk purse!!! That is just totally over the top!! I also had no idea there was a product out there which could make glass look like a mirror,
A couple of questions just for clarification - you used 5 CANS not 5 coats on the glass??
And what does the term "Trumeau Mirror" mean? I'm just not familiar w/that word!!
You did a great job on this! The moulding and color work so very well with the room you put it into. I know how much fun, and what a challenge, moulding is to work with, since I built a frame for one of my mirrors too.
Hi, Susan. I did use 5 cans. They're not large cans, and it was a large surface to cover. Each coat goes on very light, or else you get some bad drips., and it takes awhile before it really looks like a mirror.
"Trumeau" is just the style of the mirror~with the larger top on the frame and some carvings or other decorative details.
Looks fantastic! I've been wanting to build a trumeau mirror but didn't think of using a door. Many trumeau's have a painted scene at the top, usually a pastoral of some kind. I want to mimic that look using decoupage since I'm no artist. Thanks for the tips on the mirror paint. I just got a can to experiment with using it to make faux Mercury glass.

Thanks for the inspiration.
