While at my local thrift store, I found a $10 mirror with a unique top detail. I added some heirloom white spray paint, sanded the edges and rubbed on some mocha glaze to give it that old distressed look. This is an easy way to brighten up outdated, dark wood or faux wood pieces.
Nice find!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great... I too had found a mirror at our local thrift store awhile ago and had been wanting to do the same, but haven't find the time! ;) You have encourage me to do so soon! Thanks for participating in our "Show Off Your Cottage Monday".... I hope this is this post you are sharing, as I didn't see our logo... ;)

Oh, I forgot to ask you... where do you get the glaze to give it that antique look, and what's the name of it? Thanks! That will help.
