I rough sanded With 150 grit orbital sander. And taped off the mirror so no paint or products got on it.

Something like I have never done before, layering paint, thinking paints, antique oil rub ect. So I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to grasp what she wanted.

The first thing I did was decided what colour to get the base charcoal colour as seen in the photo.

I mixed country grey varathanes chalk paint with coal black fusion mineral paint to get a Smokey grey.

and than I used a pure white paint THINED with water, to make a bit of a white wash.

I added the Smokey grey and covered the entire mirror, one it was dry, I added my white washed pure white paint by gently swiping my paint brush in long motions - with very little amount on my paint brush.

I also used varathanes antique Smokey glaze over top of the paint layers.

I used a 120 grit sanding block and scuffed the whole mirror, distressing the layers of paint. Than I used steel wool and did the same thing.

Using varathanes satin water-based interior top coat.

Plants always 🌱

Still haven’t nailed my mirror reflection editing so here’s a photo of me staging it haha.

Thank you for following along!
