Elegant Mirror
Hello Ladies. Today I have an elegant mirror that I am doing for a client. She bought it at our shop and wanted it Redesigned so to speak. Here is the before......
It was pretty, but dated. And HUGE did I mention how huge it was! Like 6 feet tall huge. I painted it black and distressed it.
I didn't distress it so that the raw wood was exposed just enough to get the black off down to the stained wood. I used a clear paste wax after the distressing, which made it look very rich looking. I do apologize for the really poor pictures, I took them in the shop which is REALLY cluttered. May I also say that mirrors are really
hard to take photos of.
Hope you like the project. The client was thrilled, which is all I can hope for.
Thanks for stopping I really appreciate it.
Connie
