I would attach the family photos on the mirror and seal it with Mod Podge to protect the pictures.
Thank you so much! I would like to change the gold to a blue but not sure what to use.
cover the mirror, doesn't have to be perfect unless you want that colored too. Then spray with blue of your choice, or get a bottle of acrylic and paint the frame, then mod podge it to add some protection
Are you leaving the mirror in the frame. If your not, just hang the frame after you up dated it and then hang your framed prints inside of it. Like a collage, It would be great for grouping small pics of family members.
Actually I'm going to keep the mirror in and place pictures on top. Making a collage sounds great! I've gotten wonderful suggestions I just need a starting point. Thank you.
I'm waiting for a family member to return my parents picture, thank you for the idea.
I would keep the mirror spray paint the frame bring it up to date Not Gold Maybe dark brown then dry brush on some wood grain look or spray painted solid black depending on the surrounding colors in the room
Collage together something on a piece of cardboard,cut out to the shape of the mirror!
Using a chalk paint, you can distress it beautifully to show the detail.
There's a product that will take the mirror finish Off the back, Just use It only in the spot's you want to put your pictures. That way you can put the pictures on from the back side. I did that with a picture of my Husband and Son.
Great idea, thank you!
If me I would take mirror out & cuts thin PC of wood the shape of mirror to fit in back so you wouldn't have to worry about glass braking.
Because of style of frame, very ornate , I would do all the photos in black and white. I think that it would match the style period of the frame. Plus to me it wouldn't look so busy.
My parents photo is black and white so it makes sense that the pictures blend as well, thank you!
Keep it as a mirror.....it is GORGEOUS!!!!
That' a expensive piece of mirror.
I dare you to call around your local glass companies for replacement/ cost estimates before you dismantle it. Email them the above photo with all the curves ; )
Glass and mirror can be painted, or even frosted on the room side, and carefully scraped off with a new razor blade later by whoever desires. Tape off gilded frame and paint away!
I like the idea of a family collage, if you can find old fashion black photo mounting corners, very cool look, or double sided tape. Very light frames or matting could be artfully "hung" ( magic strips?) onto mirror or painted glass for gallery look. Could you find simple chrome & gold frames to coordinate with your rocker? Mix those metals!
I love your suggestions. I will contact a local glass company and will check Restore (Habitat for Humanity) they offer alittle bit everything.
Thank you so much!
