Hello
This mirror is from 69's and it has so unique 2 raisen carves on it, buttom and top and this mirror really deserves new ,fresh look . And my husband took of the mirror to make it easy for me..
First of all I sanded and prepared my own private home made chalk paint with gray. Than I painted all body after that I painted carves with cream color finally I applied dark glaze. But when I finished and look at carefully I realized to didn't like it this look.
Than I changed my decision and painted pure white whole mirror again!! Believe or not it was hard to covered on dark paint with white!!
Yes, I like white very much but I still think that something is missing and I want to make a distress with its original wood color, gray color and finally white color again.
And came out a distress study in 3 different colors emerged. For the first time I did a 3-color distress work, but I was such a satisfied with the result.
As you see 2 different color from under neath of white color..
Hope I was successful on the looks which I want it tried to give.
Hope you guys all will write your comments!!
