Well, it is time to share my first Trashtastic Tuesday Project of 2015. After I took down my Christmas mantle, I was longing for a mirror to hang there with a little bling, but right now it is not in the budget to purchase one. So I transformed a thrift store mirror to use for the time being. I am excited to share my thrifted mirror makeover, that I made look brand new with a little Rub’ N Buff!
You can also see just a little sneak peak of my after Christmas winter mantle. I love the way it turned out!
Here is a of before shots of the mirror in its original state. Well, almost- I had already started my first coat on the one side before I remembered to take a picture (the side closest to the paint brush)
This took three light coats using a brush. And I found with this mirror that I had to be careful of overlap, because it looked really obvious. It dries very quickly, so I let each coat dry for a few minutes, and then buffed it with a soft cloth. And then for the 4th coat, I did use my finger to just touch up in places that I thought it was needed. Again, buffing that when dry. And that was all it took!
Enjoyed the project?
