Mirror re-vamped

Eily · **Posted: 07-04-2009 , 08:58 PM** #1

We got a present of 2 very large,dark and elaborate mirrors, (one round ,one rectangular)
I have re-vamped one with a light sanding, 2 white undercoats and one top coat of cream semi-gloss/satin finish.
When the paint was fully dried, I distressed it slightly with a light sanding over the brass effect buttons and design.
My mother-in-law thought I was clean mad but was very impressed with the finished mirror hanging in the bedroom!

That looks so nice! Great work! I think the light sanding on the brass details was a great idea.
