Does anyone remember this mirror? It's the one that I shared with you a few weeks ago. Mom and I were out poking around in some thrift stores in the mountains when it presented itself and insisted on coming home with me. Said that all it needed was a coat or two of spray paint.
I painted it white thinking that I would glaze it, but once I saw how fresh it looked as is, I had second thoughts about glazing it. Oh well, it's just paint after all, it can always be tweaked later on when I change my mind.
Ha, ha, because we all do that don't we?
Great price and great makeover! I'm on the hunt for some big mirrors now that I've discovered a place in my open floor plan for one!
ReplyDeleteLove it!

Oh, the white looks very nice indeed - I'm glad that you decided not to glaze it... besides, if you decide to glaze it later - you CAN!
ReplyDeleteOoh! It's amazing how hideous that mirror looked before, and now how beautiful it looks with a couple coats of paint. Love it! Now, I'm inspired to go find something like it. :)

Linda, no this is mirror is nothing fancy which is precisely why there is no guilt associated with torturing it with spray paint. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteyou can't beat that with a stick! fabulous for 5 bucks!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!! I bought some similar looking scrolly candle sconces the other day that I want to paint white. Now I know it will look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat price and I love anything curvey. The white is nice and you can add to it later if you decide it neeeds a facelift at a future date. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat shaped mirror and it looks so much better in white, Nice job!! Kathysue
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great! Wonderful detail! Yes, don't we all "tweak" things later on.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great improvement.

I love it! I need to remember when I see things that are that kind of gold I don't like that I can paint it. I so often just walk right by it.
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror! Quite the score at $5.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job you did on this project! I love the price tag!!
ReplyDeleteThat is GOR-GEOUS!

Definitely a beautiful find. Of course it needed to be snatched up! Luck you!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a transformation it is when things are painted in white!! :) I also wonder if thrift store owners raise their eyebrows at us when we are buying those items.... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
You're right Ellen, thrift stores could probably charge a little more if they painted everything white. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThat is a FABULOUS mirror! Love it.
ReplyDeleteOh but let's not tell the thrift stores our secrects. LOL. I love you mirror it looks great!
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed week,

ReplyDeleteHi, Rene! I actually did this same thing with some ugly gold mirrors that were left behind by the previous owners of our house! Yours LOOKS AWESOME! If you'd like to see mine, go to my blog and look for Room Makeovers in the tag list. It was for Project Procrastinator.
