Pretty Mirror Finished

Do you ever have a blogging day when you don't really know what to talk about before you show a project you've finished?  Well, that's where I am today. I worked all week and I have 3 fun projects sitting in my living room that I'm going to get on today, 2 cute boys in the house ready to go see a movie and plans to help my mom finish a slipcover she's making for her sofa later on tonight.  So cut to the chase..here's a mirror with a makeover!

Before:

After:

I used Martha Stewart's Sharkey gray paint. It is a perfect oyster color without the pinkish tint. Then dry brushed it with Ivory Palace from Behr, distressed it & finished up with a light glazing.

I just love the details on mirrors like this. Sooooo pretty!


Little ribbon of flowers along the bottom.

I'm giving this to my sister for her birthday, since she reads my blog it won't be a surprise but we all must take a hit for the bloggery!!

I made a deal with my husband and son, I go see Tron with them and they have to go to Goodwill with me afterwards & not complain! We'll see if that's possible.


Thanks for coming by and have a good weekend!
