It is a careful assembly of a vintage glass frame with carved roses, painted, patinated and with gilding, a mirror adorned with sequins, pearls and flowers in varnished fabrics and a tablet with a wall square carved in wood, firmly screwed to the frame and covered with paint and carving with roses. The dominant colors: pink, turquoise, fuchsia and gold, are cheerful and blend in with Shabby chic style with a hint of Kitsch.
This oval console mirror on the theme of roses, entirely in painted wood and decorated with patterns, will make a beautiful home decoration useful and pretty. Entirely painted, patinated, varnished and decorated by hand, icon
We start by detaching the glass, sawing the bottom of the frame horizontally (to fix the shelf), wash and sand the vintage frame and once dry, paint it, skate it,
add gilding, color well the roses patterns and varnish everything.
In the wood, the console is cut in two parts: the wall bracket and the shelf. We sand them, we paint them like the frame,
we add cutting motifs (a bigger one for the shelf, smaller ones for the square),
we polish, we glue them with the wood glue, we drill and we screw them to the frame and insert a little wood paste.
We glue the glass, we cut a discrete and assorted pattern paper to put behind the glass, then a cardboard to cover the back and screw a wall mount. Then we glue the mirror in the center of the glass,
with glue varnish we put glitter all around. Once dry we put glue varnish to fix them well. We stick the fuchsia pearl necklace on top
and the assembly of roses at the top with the glue gun.
Embellished with floral images, would be perfect in a room, a nursery, a bathroom, a corner of toilet or even as an original and unique gift.

      Happy you kike it even if I made it a little bit kitsch and shabby chic, it's my style, I don't really mean to from the start, but little by little it becomes like that
