Painting is one of my favorite ways to relax and unwind...which means I am often looking for the next piece to re-do! I bought this wooden frame in Oxford before I moved to DC and had a mirror cut and added to the back. I painted it a creamy white to match some other furniture in my bedroom. Well, a lot has changed since 2008.
It was finally the mirror's turn for a makeover.
I used French Linen with Old Ochre as an alternating color--like my dresser. I taped the sections off using Frog Tape and got to work.
This was the perfect quick project. I did two coats of paint and one layer of dark wax.
Then...my favorite part: gilding! I rubbed the decorative edge down with some gold gilding wax for a subtle but fun finish.
I'm very happy with the overall look! Now that I have rearranged my room I was able to take some items off my desk and free up some space.
I just can't seem to get away from French Linen! It's my favorite.
