Got it at a yardsale for $15 and it won't fit over my vanity so now I am not sure what to do with it.

    Chalkboard paint and hang it in your kitchen or entryway where you can write reminders and notes! :)

    Place it in a room on a wall by itself or add pictures around it. I hung mine in the living room and made it the focal point. It really enhanced the decor and so many complement

    you can use dry erase markers straight on the mirror or plain glass, less mess than chalk dust.

    Ooooh, I was thinking it would look beautiful white and with the chalkboard paint over the mirror like Hannah suggested! Post a new pic for us? This was a STEAL for $15!!

    FOR ME. I WOULD HAVE THE TREES STANDING STRAIGHT UP OR UPSIDE DOWN. THEN HANG IT IN THE BATHROOM OR THE HALL

      @Linda james I think the trees are just a reflection, it is being photographed outside.

    I have one, more oblong shaped. I hung that on a wall in my dining room.....Love it. I left mine antique gold....It reflects the candles and decor at holidays quite nicely....and the gold picks up reflections of candle light.....

    First I would get rid of the gold...Probably matte black, silver or matte white. If you paint it silver or white you can use a dark wax to bring out the details. If you paint it black you can highlight the details w/ a dry brush of white paint. I would leave the mirror as is. Hang it w/ other smaller mirrors of different styles to make a feature wall.

    I would never paint this, it is absolutely beautiful the way it is! You could probably sell it online for $200.

    Or..you could spray paint it a fabulous (high gloss) color that POPS, such as teal! I couldn't keep anything in the shop when it was painted this color! Sold three very large frames (that were painted this color) all at one time...and they had only been placed in the display that morning!

    I just repainted a full length gold mirror with milk paint. Didn't totally cover the gold, but most of it. It was scarey because I'd originally paid $200 for it, but it came out perfect! I love it !!
